Come join us on Tuesday, December 19th for a LIVE Jazz broadcast on WDCB Radio! 

The Matt Shevitz Quartet will be performing in the Lounge at Skeleton Key and WDCB will be broadcasting it over the airwaves from 7 to 8pm, with an additional set of music from 8:15 to 9pm.

Taproom will open at 5pm with food available for purchase from our friends at Burn N' Bull!

While this show is free to attend, there is only VERY limited standing room available in the Lounge on a first-come, first-served basis. You can, however, reserve seating for this one-time event for $12 per person (full tables available, too!), and you can choose where you want to sit when you reserve your seats in advance.

Please note: this event is 21+, and seating for the broadcast will begin at 6:15pm. We ask that guests arrive on time and be respectful of the show as we will be broadcasting LIVE over the radio!
