Caligula Blushed plays The Cutting Room - New York City

The Cutting Room builds on a decade of history that includes some of today's top performers - John Mayer, Lady Gaga, Sting, Sheryl Crow and David Bowie are just some of the artists that have graced the stage of the Cutting Room at its previous location.

Created by original owner Steve Walter (Berklee Alumnus) and co-owner Chris Noth (Sex and the City, Law & Order, The Good Wife), the new Cutting Room continues the tradition of extraordinary performances and special moments, with a fresh new take on what a rock club & lounge should feel like. We are proud - and honored - to offer New York City a place to watch classy shows in a beautiful setting.

"We wanted a place where up and coming artists could get seen and established artists felt comfortable playing club gigs. We wanted a place with great sound, creative food and cocktails where the venue itself was as beautiful as the music." -Steve Walter, Owner

Whether you're looking to catch a great night of live music or just cozy up to a 30-foot guitar and grab a drink, we're here for you. Get your tix now at thecuttingroomnyc.com (212) 691-1900

Record shop by day. Live music venue by night. Raleigh’s home for all things music featuring local and nationally touring bands and an extensive vinyl record selection.

We love great music, great people, and great drinks at The Pour House Music Hall & Record Shop. We have been Raleigh’s home for live music since 1997 and are focused on bringing you an eclectic mixture of the best local and nationally touring bands.

In November 2019, The Pour House converted the second level of the venue into a record shop that features both new and used vinyl. The record shop is open 12pm-6pm Tuesday-Sunday. The record shop also features a full bar with 5 draft beers. New releases drop every Friday at 10am.

The newest configuration of the Thunderbird building has been in the works for some time. It was purchased by John and Ami Pergal, from Frank Michalski, in 2000. Shortly afterwards, the neighborhood bar underwent its initial transformation into a live music venue. Chris Lasky, local architect and friend of the business, designed the first expansion and assisted ownership with design throughout the latest renovation.

In its early years, John booked both local acts and notable nationals into the room, and the Thunderbird quickly became the home for live music in Lawrenceville. By 2009, the venue had attracted outside promoters, including Grey Area Productions, Joker Productions, and Manny Theiner, who helped establish it as a regular stop on the national circuit for smaller touring acts.

The Thunderbird began the most recent set of renovations in the summer of 2016 and is excited to unveil the finished product this summer. The new venue is booked by Roxian Live, and its events are typically co-presented with Grey Area Productions.

“We’ve expanded on what we originally created,” said Pergal. “Our main goal with these renovations was first and foremost to create a space that is great for both the performer and the patron. From sight lines to acoustics, hospitality to entertainment, the overall concert experience will be enhanced.”

The Café portion of the venue operates as it has in the past, as a bar / restaurant, open to the general public seven days a week. A small stage area in the back of the café is equipped to host solo artists and small acoustic ensembles.

The Music Hall portion of the venue represents a full-service concert production facility with a sizeable stage, multiple bars, lounge areas, food service, an elevator, and an expansive green room with amenities designed to meet the needs of the touring artist. Thunderbird Music Hall, at 380 capacity, represents the uniquely sized room that has been missing from Pittsburgh’s roster of concert venues. The programming encompasses a wide variety of genres, including roots & indie rock, blues, bluegrass, jam, jazz, funk and soul.

Caligula Blushed, as always, delivered a stellar performance. Fans sang along to every song. They tossed roses onto the stage, and reached out for just a touch from the hand of the man they came to see.”

These Subtle Sounds

The Smiths: The Day I Was There

They [The Smyths] and we are the only two (tribute acts) that saw The Smiths. I saw them twice in '85, on the Meat Is Murder tour, at a theatre in DC which to this day is the greatest live show I've ever seen ...”
