A little about The Grand Emporium:
The Grand Emporium nightclub and upstairs suites were built in 1912 and are on Kansas City's historical register. Through the years, the building housed a hotel upstairs and various taverns on the first floor. During prohibition and the heyday of the Pendergast Era, bathtub gin was drunk underneath the tin ceiling. At one time the venue was a card room called the Golden Nugget. The upstairs housed a brothel through the 1950's.

Since July 1st, 1985, the Grand Emporium has been Kansas City's premier live music venue. The Grand Emporium features both national and regional blues, reggae, rock, zydeco, jazz and swing seven nights a week! The Grand Emporium is the first and only club honored twice as "Best Blues Club In America" by the Blues Foundation in Memphis, TN. Located in the heart of the city, the box office opens at 11 a.m. daily and 1 p.m. Sunday.

Amazing Grace dishes up her award winning barbeque for weekday lunches and before and during the shows, Tuesday through Saturday. The Grand Emporium's jukebox is loaded with 100 rare blues 45's from Howlin' Wolf to James Brown. With its "wall of fame" historic photos and posters of all the greats who have graced the Grand Emporium stage, the ambience is second to none.

Dress and dancing are optional, but you must wear something!

FREDERICK'S MUSIC LOUNGE
ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
w/ Black Diamond Heavies opening
SHOW BEGINS AT 10:00PM

Open for visitors every Monday thru Saturday 5 pm - 1:00 am (You must be 21 or older to participate in the festivities, bring your I.D. or stay home.) Frederick's Music Lounge provides a perfect alternative to the overpriced and oversnooty venues that sometimes seem to be the norm in St. Louis. There's never a cover during the week, and a pitcher of Stag costs less than parking at Riverport. Factor in a lovely patio and you've got perhaps the most patron-friendly live music club in St. Louis. Just put any money you may have left at the end of the night into the tip jar or the "exit charge" box by the door, and leave, karmically right with the world, to return and drink another day.
