Get ready for a series of exceptionally cool, intimate recording experiences in 2025, with Live Wire's Speakeasy Series. Our next Speakeasy is a collaboration with The Sports Bra, Portland’s groundbreaking bar exclusively dedicated to women’s sports.

Your private dining experience includes delicious appetizers, special cocktails (and mocktails!), followed by a delectable conversation between Oregon’s own Georgia Cloepfil and Luke Burbank. After the recording, grab another drink and join us for a round of trivia and fun prizes!
