The Freight and Salvage
The Freight and Salvage (known as "The Freight") is a nonprofit musical performance venue in Berkeley, California, that primarily hosts folk music and world music acts.
==History==
The Freight was founded in 1968 and derived its name from the used furniture store that previously occupied the same space on San Pablo Avenue.〔(Freight & Salvage is A Folk Music Haven )〕 In its early years the Freight was a magnet for bluegrass fans and musicians but also presented an eclectic mix of folk, acoustic, Scottish and Irish, jugbands, mimes, spoken word and open mics. Regular performers in its earlier years, such as Eric Thompson, Suzy Thompson, Laurie Lewis, Peter Rowan, Jody Stecher and Linda Tillery continue to perform there. Other notable performers from its first decade include Elizabeth Cotten, Lightnin' Hopkins, Malvina Reynolds, Alice Stuart, Hazel and Alice, Kate Wolf, and frequent shows by Vern and Ray.
In 1983, it formally incorporated as the Berkeley Society for the Preservation of Traditional Music. The club moved to a 220-seat space on Addison Street in 1988. On August 27, 2009, The Freight opened a 490-seat venue in Berkeley's Downtown Arts District.〔(New Freight & Salvage opens its doors )〕 The $12 million project, built to LEED standards, has a green roof and features reclaimed wood from the original building on the site throughout, as well as classrooms to fulfill the organization's educational mission. The building was designed by Berkeley-based architects Marcy Wong and Donn Logan and the sound system was provided by Meyer Sound Laboratories.
