Live at the Five Spot: Joe Metzka Band
Live at the Five Spot: Joe Metzka Band

Live at the Five Spot: Joe Metzka Band
December 23rd ~ 6:30-8:30pm

Tickets in Advance Online: $8-members, $12-nonmembers + fees 
(until 5pm day of event).
Tickets at the door*: $12-Members, $16-nonmembers
(Tickets for walk-ins will be available until max capacity is reached)

When checking in at the door, be prepared to share your table and seat number.

Water and pop for $1.00 is offered at the bar. Attendees may bring their own food and drink or bring in food and drink from the Rhythm Kitchen.

About the band:
Joe Metzka has explored just about every genre of music and has settled in on the blues. His set list may still wander about into Jazz or R&B, but it’s all colored in the deep blue of blues. Joe leads the way down the road to nostalgia like no one else can, laid back and easy, his raspy voice a counter to the crisp licks from his guitar. That is why making a Christmas album is right up his alley. His Christmas album and more will be on sale. Joining Joe is Rusty Hall on keys, Tim Brickner on bass and Courtez Banks on drums. Hear his music and learn more about this St. Louis based artist at www.joemetzka.com
