I've never been, but I've heard it's fantastic. Small, intimate not-for-profit listening room. All ticket sales, donations, etc. go straight to the artists. John Fullbright has mentioned more than once that it is his dream venue.

I went to school with the owner's kids, and they are a great family.

I hope to get my band booked there eventually. It seems like a great venue for musicians who want to play for people who really have a passion for original music.

Its pretty cool. It's BYOB and there's a bunch of random chairs and couches. Only sits about 75 people.

If you can go see Peter Rowan, GO. I've seen a bunch of really good acts there: Ray Wylie hubbard, Randal Bramblett, Kristin Diablo, Spencer Bohren, Jimmy Lefevbre

Sounds like a good place. I didn't know anything on Florida could be good.

You're wrong, there's plenty of good on Florida:
Zeagler's is the best music store in Baton Rouge (Perfect Guitar is second because it ignores wind instruments)
Guitar Center is there
Ronnie's Boudin
La Marinita
the good Podnuh's
Montalbano's
