In 1968, Nancy Owens founded The Freight & Salvage with nothing but a dream and a deep love of music. She created a space where musicians were truly welcomed, listened to, and celebrated – and that spirit lives on today.

The Nancy Owens Legacy Stage honors our founder while investing in the future. This intimate performance space in The Freight’s lobby serves as both a launchpad for emerging artists and a homecoming for the beloved veteran musicians who have shaped our story.
