J.VIEWZ LIVE is very excited to be honored with an APRIL 5th engagement at the club, which has hosted the likes of Ray Charles, Sarah Vaughn, Lionel Hampton, and Dizzy Gillespie. With two sets at 8:00PM and 10:00PM, J.Viewz will play the sound that has made them one of the most exciting new acts today.

The mellow-jazzy-jammy vibe of J.Viewz live mixed with the intimacy of The Blue Note makes this show the Monday show to see.
