DODO is a prog-fusion unit created in late 2021 led by local Rhodes enthusiast Sam Blomgren. Celebrate the man, the myth, the legend himself as he celebrates another year around the sun. Drawing inspiration from the electric, adventurous spirit of 1970s Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and Chick Corea, DODO aims to push the envelope through improvisation and self-expression while simultaneously providing digestible compositions that are meant to be enjoyed by anyone and everyone.

Please Note: MONKS JAZZ IS NOW A FULL SERVICE BAR. As part of this transition, Monks Jazz is no longer a BYOB venue. We invite you to enjoy our thoughtfully curated beverage menu and roll with us through the changes! As always, this is a live-taping, so we'll be enforcing a whisper-policy! Free parking is available in the area. Doors at 7:00pm, Show at 7:30pm.

Monks is open 6:30 PM for a new Happy Half Hour, featuring $2 off of our Classic and Signature Cocktails, $2 off Glasses of Wine, and $1 off of our Beer Menu between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM. Join us for a drink, or come at your scheduled seating time! We'll have a wonderful evening planned ahead!
