Weekly Jazz On Hold!

Posted Mon, 10/18/2010 - 8:19pm by John Kelly

We wanted to let you know that we will be discontinuing our weekly Jazz "Happy Hour" held every Wednesday. We have a few ideas to take its place and will update you in the coming weeks, but for now we will be closed Wednesdays. We had hoped that jazz would take off here at the Hideaway but have had trouble pulling a growing audience. We would like to thank Henry Ashwood and all the marvelous players that have been coming and playing for over a year now, as well as the dedicated audience members that have come out each week.

We will continue to put on Jazz concerts from time to time, hopefully with the continued support of the AL Downing Jazz Association. We had a great turnout with their help a few weeks ago so keep an eye out for such an event.

A great big thank you to Matt Butcher and Justin Beckler for a great show this past Friday. They've each done such a wonderful job here at The Hideaway in the past and to have them share the stage was a great treat... thanks guys!

Matt Butcher and Justin Beckler Friday, Oct. 15th.

Don't miss this incredible co-headlining concert here at The Hideaway Cafe tomorrow Friday, Oct. 15th. We've had the pleasure of having both of these fine singer songwriters here before and they've always left us wanting more. (Both will be performing solo)

Matt, a Fl native, recently released "Me and My Friends", the 25 year old singer-songwriter's debut record. Backed by piano, pedal steel, and horns, Butcher weaves tails of desperation and loneliness, grace and redemption. Don't miss him as he makes his third visit to the Hideaway Cafe.

Rebekah Pulley this Saturday!

Hey folks, we have a special (and) FREE concert this Saturday, Oct. 2nd with Rebekah Pulley. Creative Clay's Folkfest is being held right down the street from the Hideaway this Fri, Sat and Sun. Rebekah will be performing Saturday (day) along with a great line-up on an outdoor stage (right across the street from Creative Clay). Don't miss it. Then she will be heading over to The Hideaway Cafe for a set around 9:00 PM. Opening act TBA.

If you're out and about on Central this Saturday for this year's Folkfest, be sure to stop by the Hideaway for this special last minute show.
