A city staple of the past 20 years, The Hot Club of Philadelphia Gypsy Jazz Band, (HCP) is slated for their first performance at The Living Room at 35 East’s new larger location (35 East Ardmore Ave), on Friday October 1, joined by another local favorite, the “y’allternative” Bluegrass-Country band The Cheddar Boys. HCP will play their blend of Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli classics, Klezmer, songs by the Beatles & Hendrix, as well as pieces from their current release, Gypsy-Americana as well as songs for their next release. The Cheddar Boys will be debuting songs from their upcoming 2022 album, a few months before the release date. The two bands will be among the first handful of local musicians to play Laura Mann’s newly revamped larger capacity listening room. Doors open at 7pm; show at 8:00. Tickets start at $35, and available here.

Pre-order is preferred, tickets may be available at the door, but cannot be guaranteed. BYOB
