Event Calendar
NEW weekly Jazz Jam with Guy King and His Organ Trio every Sunday!
Join us an hour earlier every Sunday from 5-8PM for The Sunday Jazz Jam featuring Guy King and His Organ Trio! Every Sunday, starting this week, Guy King and his Organ Trio – and a select few weekly “Jam” guests chosen by the host band – will grace our stage and give the spotlight over to Jazz for a few hours every Sunday! There is no cover the Sunday Jazz Jam.
Please note: This is NOT an open jam. This will NOT run like the Monday night open jam sessions. All “Jam” participants have been preselected to participate by the host band. After the Jazz Jam from 5-8PM, we will present our usual Sunday night show at 9:30PM for the usual $10 cover charge.

ATTENTION: All Saturday ticket holders (1/15, 1/22, 1/29): Buddy has decided to open the doors at 1:00PM every Saturday for the rest of January, rather than 4:00PM as originally scheduled. Buddy doesn’t want his fans waiting outside in the cold!
The doors will open as scheduled for the rest of the January Buddy shows. Please see our Calendar or our January FAQ’s page to double check what time the doors will open for each date. We would like to remind our valued ticket holders that things such as door times, opening bands, etc. are always subject to change!
