Holly Jolly Jewell: the downtown jazz room’s holiday pop-up weekends
Jewell on Capitol turns into a holiday pop-up bar on Fridays and Saturdays from Black Friday to Dec. 19. Here is the lineup so far, and which nights it is closed.
Jewell, the live-music room at 1030 Capitol Ave. downtown, is running a holiday pop-up bar it calls Holly Jolly Jewell from Black Friday through the week before Christmas. Music runs 7:30 to 10 p.m. most nights, and the venue recommends reserving a table.
Nov. 27: The Jones. Rayford Jones and Lori Jones open the pop-up on the night after Thanksgiving.
Nov. 28: Songwriters in the Round. Field Creative Co. and Andre Vander Velde present a songwriters-in-the-round night.
Dec. 4: The Downtown Collective. Tickets were listed as coming soon when we checked.
Dec. 5: closed for a private event.
Dec. 11: Hector Anchondo. Tickets also coming soon.
Dec. 12: Jeni Grouws and Her Great Big Band. Not billed as part of the pop-up, but the busiest night of the stretch: two separate shows, at 6:30 and 9 p.m.
Dec. 18 and 19: Dueling Pianos, then the Broadway Big Band. Brian Eckleberry and Manuel De La Torre return for dueling pianos on the 18th, and Omaha Broadway Bar presents its Broadway Big Band on the 19th.
Jewell is closed Dec. 25 for the holiday and Dec. 26 for a private event. Ticket prices are not listed on the venue’s page; check each show’s ticket link.
Lineup and dates are from Jewell’s live music page as of Nov. 12, re-checked Nov. 13. Several Jewell nights are on our calendar; the rest will be added as tickets open.
