The spacious three-story space, formerly a movie theater and then a sports bar, has been completely redesigned and rebuilt as a performance venue.  Special attention was paid to acoustic elements and outfited a top-of-the-line sound system for the venue.

The central music hall can accommodate audiences of up to 550. Depending on the genre of music and the size of the expected crowd, flexible seating arrangements can offer cabaret seating at small tables; seats in rows; or standing room and a large dance floor.

The venue features a plushly appointed Front Lounge with intimate groupings of couches and comfortable chairs. The lower level offers a lounge with pool tables and the capability for live video and sound feeds from the stage. 

The third floor of the venue contains the Port City Music Hall administrative and production offices as well as a spacious Green Room for the artists â complete with separate dressing room, shower, and a rooftop deck.

Ruha is a 4 headed love machine! Collectively they have over 20 years of touring experience. Ruha can play a 3 minute rock song, a country stomp, or a 20 minute exploration of music within a song. This Band is fresh and different every time they step on stage. Ruha means Air, Breath & Atmosphere and that is exactly what Charley Orlando, Max McKee, Greg LaPoint and Brian Lauri create with this music! Between all the members they have shared the stage with Phil Lesh & Friends, Steve Kimock & Crazy Engine, Melvin Seals(JGB), John Dawson, David Nelson & Buddy Cage (New Riders of the Purple Sage), Martin Fierro (Legion Of Mary), Hot Tuna, David Lindley (Jackson Browne), Peter Rowan, moe., Tony Trishka, Leftover Salmon, Blues Traveler, & Spin Doctor's to name a few and have had 2 albums nominated to the 50th and 52nd GRAMMY Ballot in a total of 11 categories! Look for Ruha to hit the road in Spring 2010 for a huge National Tour!
