KING
KONG ROOM REVISES ENTERTAINMENT SCHEDULE
SCHEDULES ADDITIONAL
PERFORMANCES FOR MONDAYS AT 8:30 PM
Here
is great news for everyone in New York City who loves the experience
of live jazz, cabaret, comedy and pop music. With the success of Jim
Caruso's Cast Party (http://www.jim-caruso.com/CastParty/index.html),
KING KONG ROOM at the Supper Club (240 West 47th Street, NYC - 1-212-921-1904
- http://www.KingKongRoom.com/)
is expanding their Monday night schedule to include an early (8:30
pm) show. The performance space has been re-focused, with defined
lights and sound; and the staff has been prepped to understand the
complexities of "no blender drinks during ballads!" The same cool
lounge vibe will continue, of course, making King Kong Room a fun
and casual alternative space for established performers to experiment
with new sounds, new material and new musical combinations!
Jim Caruso kicked off
"MONDAYS AT 8:30" on June 2nd, with "Laughing Matters," which ran
for three SRO months at Arci's Place two years ago. At the piano and
on occasional vocals was the ever-swingin' Johnny Rodgers.
On
June 16th the room will feature the very same Johnny Rodgers with
his brand new band, showcasing original material performed by New
York's most up-and-coming jazz/pop fusion guy! There will be a $15
cover and a $15 food/drink minimum. For more information about Johnny
Rodgers see http://www.johnnyrodgers.com/.

July 21st will be the night one of NY's favorite performers takes

appeal of pop." $15 cover, $15 food/drink minimum at 8:30pm. For more
