The Empress Theatre

Neat little place in V-town!  

Went to go see a blues band last Friday night.  Great talent!!!  

The place is gorgeous inside and it's a laid back place to listen to awesome music.  No rude hipster-wanna-be's here.  Just people who come for the music.

If you've got young ones, this is a great place to bring them so you can turn them on to something other than iTunes music.  Get them interested in an instrument and broaden their horizons.  Good atmosphere here.

Check out their calendar and their music.

Old school.  Antique theater.  Just like it was when I went there 40 years ago.  Great for special events.  I watched the Democratic Convention there as a guest of Congressman Mike Thompson.  It ws a full house with standing room only left.

The Ramble today was pretty damn great, and a wonderful value at 10$ for a night of blues, jazz, and soul. The theater is beautiful and the volunteers very friendly!

On the other hand, the beer selections sucks and needs improvement.
