Thursdays, The Elks Lodge transforms into an old school organ parlor with a house Hammond B3 organ, Leslie speaker, and an intimate vibe for you to sit back groove to the music. Drinks and bar eats are great and inexpensive. During the warm months, the music goes from the front room out into the parking lot. The backlit stone walls make for a gorgeous backdrop under the stars.

The early timing of 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm allows you to start the weekend off right on Thursday night and yet still have plenty of gas left for the rest of the weekend.

Thursday July 23rd features guitarist Bob Becket. The music is a mix of reimagined funk favorites.

Liftoff Brass is a funky horn-based band performing everything from New Orleans style brass band music to funk, soul and beyond. LIFTOFF BRASS BAND incorporates New York’s current generation of musicians who are revitalizing the funk band sound in New York, including Jayd on vocals, Martin vocals/sax, Wayne on trumpet, Matt on trombone, Paul on keys/organ, Alix on Tuba, Vin on drums, and a host of guests. From a power funky-brass quartet to a three-horn frontline, and with a host of original arrangements reflecting a large vision, Liftoff Brass band ranges freely across the New Orleans landscape without losing grip of the New York groove. Influences from Louis Armstrong to Aretha to Bruno Mars to Stevie Wonder to Whitney Houston to Prince to James Brown to Rebirth Brass, the music of Liftoff Brass inspired by the greats hailing from Nola washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." The members of Liftoff have performed at Lincoln Center Out of Doors, Radegast Hall, Single Cut, Le Poisson Rouge, Symphony Space, Blue Note, Employees Only, and international music festivals.
