I wanted to note with no small amount of sadness, the closing of Banjo Jim’s, my favorite place to catch music in all of New York. All of everywhere, actually.
A tiny place, with an unpretentious owner, and its patrons likewise, EV Grieve has some great notes on the passing of a wonderful, special place.
Here are Laura Cantrell, Trip Henderson, and Diane Stockwell from the great 2008 Loretta Lynn tribute show.
The Carter Family tribute, Amy Allison, the Y’All Stars, and more. I saw some of the best gigs of my life there, but truth be told, I never understood how the place made money (or if it ever did), but Banjo Lisa provided an amazing place, that will be missed. Thank you.
