Purchase Advanced tickets on SHOWPASS HERE ($15 plus tax and fees) OR at the Door while quantities last ($20 plus tax)

Dinner is available with our kitchen open until 9pm. Reservations are strongly suggested—make yours HERE. We are an intimate 85-seat venue, so every seat is a great seat! While we do our best to accommodate all seating requests, they cannot be guaranteed. For the best experience, we recommend making reservations in even numbers (for example, a party of three may be seated with an additional guest). Doors open half an hour before showtime for those who will not be dining with us.

From fist pumping, stomp your feet workingman anthems to soulful ballads of love, heartache and loss; James' songs are all about storytelling.  Intensely thought-out lyrics grind through raspy vocal chords with powerful emotion to produce rich, dark imagery that can really punch you in the heart.
