Default Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club

Has anyone been to Jimmy's Jazz and Blues Club in Portsmouth??

https://jimmysoncongress.com/

Looks like a fantastic place to see a show and they have quite a group of talented musicians playing there this summer, fall and winter. Looks like the real deal jazz and blues venue!!... It gets great reviews online also! I have never been but did get tickets for a couple shows this fall. Just wondering if anyone here has been yet?

I've been wanting to check this place out also. Be sure to report back to us after you check the place out!

I've been a few times both for shows and some events they've done. It is a great venue and if you have time while you're there, check out the before and after photos of the renovation, they spent a few years, and a ton of money on the place!

You can eat and drink there, but since it is right in downtown Portsmouth, there are also any number of great restaurants within walking distance. I've read some of the feedback from the musicians that have played there, and they all talk about the phenomenal acoustics and intimate venue (it is mostly all table seating).

The only downside, is that some of the seats have limited views of the stage, but they have large screens and the music fills the space. I've been to a show where we just sat at the bar and listened and watched on the monitors and had a great time.

For a small venue, they get some great acts, enjoy the show!! -PIG

I have not been myself, but have a friend who goes regularly and swears by it. I agree the acts they have scheduled are incredibly good.

This compared to Bank of NH (and T Swift and Springsteen!) is a great illustration of music economics. A very small group of artists charge stratospheric prices, but you can still see some of the world's best performers, who are a bit less commercial, for small change

I'm not a huge Bank of NH Pavilion fan due to the crazy prices....but my daughter just texted me and said there is a $25 ticket thing on Tuesdays...anyway, just purchased 4 lawn tickets ($25 each with no added fees) and the $15 parking pass...total $115. Show is in July, and I'll take it at that cost.

Otherwise, I agree...it's robbery.

The show I got $25 lawn tickets for is Barenaked Ladies. But the deal was for about 15ish? of the summer shows. Maybe they'll do it again next Tuesday.

I scored 4 $25 lawn tickets for this venue. I think it is a steal!
