After a successful two and a half year run, the weekly jazz series at Riverspace Arts in Nyack has been cancelled due to cost-saving programming cuts.
The series sponsor, Rockland County Jazz and Blues Society is moving the community jazz series across the street to Olive's (118 Main St., Nyack, NY).
The new series starts at Olive's on May 7th, with scheduled events on the first and third Thursday of each month.
RCJBS Continues the format started at Riverspace, most events will consist of a featured jazz artist joining the excellent house rhythm section for one set followed by a jam session.
Musicians get in FREE.
Music Charge only $5! Full Bar, Micro brews, Great Food & WiFi.
Olive's is an old-time Nyack establishment, (32 years in the business with the same owner), with a long wooden bar, booths along the wall, a stage at the back, and a gaming room off to the side. It has a real “vibe", as the jazz musicians like to say. With it's well-stocked bar and full food menu--and now top-notch live jazz every other Thursday--Olive's will be the perfect place for serious listeners as well as any hungry or thirsty soul who just likes good, soulful music... at an incredibly reasonable price $5 at the door.
