The Cellar Door was an iconic and beloved club in Georgetown that between 1963-82 presented the best in folk, blues, rock, jazz, comedy and anything else that was making waves. Despite having only about 150 seats. some of the artists who performed there loved it so much they returned several times a year while others (Miles Davis, Neil Young, The Seldom Scene) recorded live albums there. In 1979 the club made the news when guitarists George Thorogood and Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers of The Nighthawks who were performing at the Cellar Door and Desperados across the street, met in the middle of M Street with the assistance of 100 foot guitar cables for a fabled guitar duel in the street. Others such as the Starland Vocal Band featuring Bill Danoff and Jon Carroll established themselves performing at the Cellar Door. This show will feature performances by artists who regularly performed at The Cellar Door and by others who will be paying tribute to some of the most popular stars of The Cellar Door.
