🎶 RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME JAM TODAY. 🎶

And just to be clear — this video is from a JAM.

Not rehearsed.
Not planned.
Just a bunch of awesome musicians listening, connecting, and making music together. ❤️

We know the Phoenix is known for karaoke — and we LOVE that. But what you might not know is how much music history lives inside this place.

From some of the original Pomp Room equipment, to Turk providing a place for generations of musicians to “cut their teeth,” to the days of the old J&M Club — and now, to all of you.

Music has a way of creating community unlike almost anything else.

Whether you’ve been playing for 40 years, picked up an instrument 4 months ago, sing karaoke every weekend, or your primary musical contribution is doing shots of 1800 while enthusiastically yelling for an encore 😂 — there’s a place for you here.

We’re proud to keep supporting live music and the people who make it.

🥁 LIVE JAM — Last Sunday of every month at 2 PM
🎤 KARAOKE — Thursday, Friday & Saturday around 9:15-ish

Come make some noise. Come meet some people. Come be part of the next chapter. ❤️🎸🎤

🎤 KARAOKE TONIGHT — 9ISH! 🎤
📍 The Phoenix Lounge

Okay, we have ONE very specific request tonight. 😂

It would absolutely MAKE OUR WEEK if someone walked into the Phoenix and sang this song:

And because we believe commitment to the bit should be rewarded…

🍹 FIRST DRINK IS ON US IF YOU INCLUDE THE COSTUME. 🍹

Karaoke kicks off around 9ish — come sing, laugh, have a drink, and help us start the weekend a little early.

🎤🎶 See you at the Phoenix!

🎸 LIVE JAM AT THE PHOENIX — SUNDAY @ 2PM 🥁🎤

It feels like the music world has gotten a little quieter lately.

We’ve recently said goodbye to names known around the world — Dolly Parton and Tim Curry — artists whose work became part of the soundtrack of people's lives.

But if you're a musician around Sioux Falls, Harrisburg, or any of the small towns and stages in between, you know something else:

Music doesn't only leave a legacy when the whole world knows your name.

Sometimes a musical legacy is built one bar, one church, one city band, one student, one open mic, one rehearsal, and one Saturday-night gig at a time.

Our region has lost some of those people recently, too.

🎵 Ian Frye of Heathen Music Labs in Fargo — musician, educator, and a genuinely lovely human being.

🎵 Larry Anderson of Flandreau — trombonist and community musician who helped bring the Flandreau City Band back to life.

🎵 Thomas “T-Bone” Knutson of Fargo — keyboard player and lifelong rock & roller.

Those names might not mean something to everyone.

But somewhere, there's a musician who learned something from them.

Someone who shared a stage with them.

Someone who remembers a song they played.

Someone who is a better musician because their paths crossed.

That's the thing about a local music community — we leave pieces of ourselves with each other.

And someday, every one of us plays our last song.

So while we're here — let's play.

Bring the guitar that's been sitting in the case.

Bring the song you've been wanting somebody to play with you.

Sit behind the drums. Grab the mic. Play the keys. Pick up the bass. Bring the horn.

Maybe teach somebody a song.

Maybe learn one.

Maybe play with somebody you've never played with before.

Or just pull up a chair and listen.

You don't have to be famous.
You don't have to be perfect.
You just have to show up.

📅 Sunday, August 30th
⏰ 2PM
📍 The Phoenix Lounge

🔥 The Phoenix Jam happens the LAST SUNDAY of every month.

Come play something loud.
Come play something beautiful.
Come play something for somebody who isn't here to play it anymore.

PLAY. CONNECT. MAKE MUSIC.
