THE BACK ROOM gets a facelift

Since we're ever striving to improve and grow, we decided it was time for THE BACK ROOM to get a facelift.  

When we opened it seemed like a great idea to put the THE BACK ROOM performance area in the corner and it worked pretty well for the past year or so, but we kept thinking there had to be a better configuration.   

So last weekend we moved the performance space to the back wall, repositioned the sound board, rearranged

 the tables and chairs, added a real stage and  VOILA...it's a brand new BACK ROOM. Check it out.


Thanks to Andrew for rearranging and improving the sound, Jake for moving the electrics and Joe for building the stage...you guys are awesome!

The Blues on FIRE!

Sunday night 98 Bottles rocked the roof off with Nashville blues band Andy T and Nick Nixon.  The house was small but the energy could have ignited a forest fire!  Damn those guys were great!  

It's always harder to generate a large audience for out of town bands, but we're taking the chance anyway, and it is totally worth it for bands as stellar as this one.  We hope to bring them back on a weekend night sometime soon.  So, watch the calendar an DO NOT MISS THEM the next time.  If you do, it will most definitely be your loss.

98 Bottles in the news

 98 Bottles hosted two events this week that brought lots of media coverage.  

On Sunday March 24 we hosted a fund raising event for San Diego Repertory Theatre.  They are raising money for a new show called Federal Jazz Project that opens April 6.  It's inspired by trumpet virtuoso Gilbert Castellanos, a favorite of 98 Bottles Back Room music goers.  For 15 years Castellanos has hosted jazz jam sessions around town in warehouses and clubs and his work inspired Culture Clash's Richard Montoya to write a play about the San Diego jazz scene.
