About Us

Music on the Half Shell provides an opportunity to be part of one of Roseburg’s biggest success stories and to receive widespread community recognition.

Our
Mission

To provide free concerts to the public in Roseburg, Oregon featuring quality artists who would normally perform at distant venues for a substantial admission fee.

A Roseburg tradition in its 32nd year. Every summer season, people gather on Tuesday evenings at Stewart Park to listen to music, socialize, eat dinner on the lawn and experience the great community in which we live.

Each of the eight concerts averages $20,000 to produce. Seasonal attendance exceeds 50,000 people. The Music on the Half Shell committee began planning the 2024 concert series in October. Fundraising is an ongoing effort. Music on the Half Shell is a private, charitable non-profit organization and contributions are tax deductible.
