Our last show of the month, this Friday, July 30th brings back the awesome duo, Paint The Town Red. We love these guys... A great show start to finish. You can check out their ad below... funny guys with great songs and great harmony. Tickets are $7 available here and at the door the night of the event.

We had another great stretch of music (and comedy) this past month. Thank you to those artists who made a stop here at the Hideaway, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and that you'll soon return.

We have one more week to go in July, starting tonight with Tuesday's "Living Room Live", tomorrow with our Jazz night and Thursday's "Living Room Live" writers night. We hope you'll continue to support "Live Original music" in downtown St. Pete.

All for now.... Cheers! john

Thank You Michael Tolcher and Matt Haley!

What a great night Saturday was with Michael Tolcher and special guest Matt Haley. The place was stuffed from the get go with anxiously awaiting fans. Matt played for about a half hour to a "new" audience that seemed to eat him right up. He really set the mood for what was to be a night to remember here at The Hideaway.

I had the opportunity to hear Michael at our Living Room Live songwriters night a few weeks ago and became an instant fan. He has such a great voice and watching him deliver his show Saturday night was really some thing - all in... from start to finish with great big moments and wonderfully subtle lows. I started working on the recording today and let me just say... If you were here Saturday, you're now part of a great piece of history. Nicole and I can't wait for another visit.

Thanks to everyone for coming out to the show... special thanks to Kevin Lilly for bringing Michael to us.

All for now... Cheers! John
