Let's try this again, shall we?
From time to time, people ask about live music and why we don't list the bands around town. The Fun Club does not list bars and bands and where all the live music is for two reasons:
1.) it's too much to keep up in a comprehensive way and 2.) not all of the music is that appropriate for grownups and families. That being said, some venues do offer quality music and from time to time we will be highlighting those. We appreciate Mark McKenzie who is helping us be aware of the bands he works with and the venues like Abuelo's, Joe's Crab Shack, and Aroma's Coffee that feature good music on a regular basis. We will also include our friends like Stella's and Sugar Browns when we get them. Click here to see the page and bookmark it for later >>
