Open Ears Music

We will take a short summer break the first two weeks of July, and then will come back on a new night starting July 15.

Our move to Tuesday nights was done in the interest of having the best possible listening environment. There is no music downstairs at the Blue Nile on Tuesdays. This will allow us to enjoy quiet and subtle presentations with out the audio bleed from downstairs. Of course we can still have not quiet and not subtle presentations as well.

We’d like to thank Jesse and Ollie and the Blue Nile for having the vision to open the club an extra night purely in the interest of having the best possible listening experience. Please reward their commitment to good music with your continued support of the Open Ears Music Series.

Thanks,
Jeff, Justin, and Dan

Unfortunately, the Jim Markway Trio performance on May 8, 2008 did not get recorded. If you missed it, and I am pretty sure you missed it, it is your loss. They sounded great. See you next week.
