One Horse TavernOHHT300 Front StGaston, OR 97119Blues & Rock lovers, get over to The One Horse Tavern for our Country & Roots music series. Our special guest will be muddy roots artist Rich Layton!
Since stepping to the mic as lead singer for a junior high garage band, Rich Layton has been a prisoner of rock and roll.

COVID-19 GUIDELINES
1. We ask that all people be "Distance Responsible" and respect other people's differing comfort levels with social interactions.
2. Please help us make this, and all future events as safe as possible, so if you see something wrong please let us know.
3. Please abide by the posted signs, social distancing standing markers, and walking paths.
4. Please make the best efforts to arrive as a complete party. Seating complete parties will significantly decrease the number of people that we will have to escort to their tables.
5. **Masks must be worn upon entry and while walking around the establishment. They do not need to be worn while at the table.**
6. To minimize the number of people walking around, all drinks and food will be ordered and delivered to the table by a server.
7. There are multiple stalls in each large restroom, so five people are allowed in the restroom at a time. If there are five people already in the room, please wait outside and remain at least six feet from others who may be waiting.
8. During intermissions and at the end of the show, tables will be released to exit the building by table number to avoid congestion.
9. We understand that people are still adapting to the new social standards and that mistakes will be made, but blatant disregard for the rules will not be tolerated. -
