Underbelly to close

[jerry cornwell]

So this is the third live music place proposed in a month or so??  Burro, The New Dive Bar, and The New Underbelly....

Underbelly will close the end of June. Its a rumor where they will open up again. While Emily/Cameron announced they would, they didnt exactly say where. Only late august/ sept.

So this is the third live music place proposed in a month or so??  Burro, The New Dive Bar, and The New Underbelly....

Underbelly was the first music venue of those three and we are pumped that others are taking the charge as well.  It will have a full size stage and will be equipped with state of the art sound and lighting.  Underbelly will continue to draw national and local acts like it has been doing for the past year and a half.  We are really looking forward to watching the new space grow.

Also, it is our wish that we all ban together and pull Jacksonville from the crippled hands of the men/women in charge and bring it to a new level; a level it should have been at 15 years ago in terms of the art and music scene.  Unfortunately, most of the people with the power are visionless.  It is our hope that Jacksonville one day will be revered in the music world much like Austin, Texas is.  It takes more than one venue for that to happen, so instead of spreading negativity, we should all ban together so that we all thrive instead of die.

Get ready for September...

25,000 sq ft warehouse dedicated for art studios. The 1st section of art studios are filled. Dolf James, Chrystal Floyd, George Cornwell/Noli Novak, Donald Duisenberrie/ Jen Jones (former propitiators of R Roberts) have occupied. Jim Draper appears to be moving in to the 2400sq ft gallery (all have 20ft ceilings... w/ air.)
The facebook site will be up anytime.
Jacksonville just jumped up several steps on the "best places for artists" list. Both musical and visual.
Cork stands for Corner of Roselle and King.
Its on.

Thanks for sharing this great news (and for clarifying what CoRK stands for).

1. I'll volunteer to paint. landscape, Add walls. Knock down walls. Roofing. Whatever help you need to open in August.

2. The second way I'd like to participate is to donate a keg of Intuition Ale Works. The People's Ale for that day that you designate and under your supervision in June or July for those people who are making it happen.

PeeJayess I don't know why but somehow I see your butt showing up for this one. LOL. I'm kidding, your a good man.

Oh I'm down for either!

Seriously, if you guys need anything that doesn't require any talents or particular skills, I'd be happy to help. Psyched for this to open.
