There was a time in American music, before the multi-million dollar record deals, before the big-time agents, when songwriters and musicians knew they had something new. Something no one had heard before, and it was just burning in their soul. Sure they wanted to be famous, but it wasn't just that, or the money ... If they made it, it meant they were good.

At Sunset Strip Live! its always about the music. Its not a blues club, or a jazz club. It?s a music club, a living testament to the legacy of American blues, jazz, the birth of rock and roll, all, the great musicmaking and songwriting that are the shoulder's that today's musicians stand on the shoulders of. A place of live performance, a celebration of talent. It's also a place of new faces, new sounds, and the up and coming musicians with something to say, and play.

At Sunset Strip Live! you can feel the ghosts of the great musicians who have left the stage, but this is no museum. The truly great music lives on. At its core, the club is simple, raw, emotional. But it also reveals music's aspirations to inspire a passions for the lyrics, the rhythms, the pure sound so as to plant the music in your soul.

At Sunset Strip Live! you revel in the unique quality of American music.
