[Dixielandjazz] The Bookstore Speakeasy

[Stephen G Barbone]

I'm playing tonight (March 29)  at the Bookstore in Bethlehem PA. Duo  
with Tom Pontz on piano. Then again tomorrow night in a trio with Tom  
and Johnny Peppercraft on Bass Sax. Mostly American Songbook, some  
Dixieland songs and a little straight ahead Jazz. Audience is young,  
mostly under 40 years old. Lots of College kids fall by to drink a  
Sazerac, chill out and try the food. FUN evening fr them and fun for  
us playing for a young audience tht digs the music.

Stop by if you are in the neighborhood. Music from 9 PM to 1 AM. Great  
venue, like the old time speakeasy it once was. Typical review below:

Very impressed! I live in San Francisco and wish we had the Bookstore  
here!

We called around 9pm and they were full but they called us back around  
12am and we were sat right away - so nice not having to wait around!

They had a nice three-piece band playing. Fun and jazzy but not too  
loud.

The staff is wonderful! Super trendy, friendly, helpful and not  
pretentious!

The five of us ordered different drinks and passed them around to  
taste - all unique and great!
