Clarissa Room gives us shelter from the storm . . . and helps us to redeem missed opportunities
Ducking into the Clarissa Room out of the rain yesterday afternoon during the Clarissa Street Reunion to eat my pulled pork and have a beer, I found a card on the table for shows there by Sonny Miles & Smiles, who was just finishing a set on the stage outside, for August 27th and September 30th (10pm to 1am). Arriving at the fest later and starting at the other end, I had missed most of his set, but really enjoyed the small part I heard. Sonny plays jazz organ. I didn’t see a Leslie box or a Hammond B3, but that was the sound coming out of synthesizers. They cooked. I’ll have to check them out.
On Friday, August 26th at 9:00 PM, the Clarissa Room will host the Bill Tiberio Group, who we were force to miss at the Reunion. Just into their set, the sky opened up. My wife and I were there without an umbrella. Also sorry to have missed Tony Monaco, who was scheduled to headline an hour later (did he?), but we were pretty close to drowning by the time we reached the car. I wrote about a previous show by the Bill Tiberio Group at the Clarissa Room here. As before, the Bill Welch Band will be opening for them.
Hi there. I am interested in the Corn Hill district of Rochester. I understand that it is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Rochester. I was not able to find any pictures of this area, or the Clarissa Room. The Clarissa Room sounds like a nice venue for live entertainment.
