Welcome to Evan Davis Jazz!
This is the 12-year anniversary of “Evan Davis Jazz”. It started as a blog in August 2009 with the original purpose of helping to support local performers in Las Vegas. A few performers asked me to send out flyers to promote their gigs and look what it’s turned into. You may be familiar with me through my e-mails, which tells you about events or performances that are coming up at a restaurant or club. I also publish a “Calendar of Events”, listing all the local events and performances that are going on in Las Vegas. The listing is a compiling of all the information that the performers, or the venues, send me on a weekly basis. Part of my goal is to keep this calendar timely and correct, so every week I send a request to the performers asking them to send me their gigs for that week. If the information is complete, I can post it. There is so much great local talent in this town that you could go out every night to multiple venues, and still not see all the performers and musicians. With that said, I will try to keep you informed of what’s happening in my world, and would like to have YOU tell me what’s happening in yours. Let me know who you’ve seen, and what you think. This is for people who want to know what’s happening on the local scene in Las Vegas, and for people who want to share their own experiences. Whether you’re “In the Business”, or someone who goes to a restaurant or club and has an opinion about the talent you hear, let us ALL know. This includes any comments, good or bad, on the performers, the venue, and even the food and service. Please help support local entertainment in Las Vegas, and “Let The Music Play On.” * Due to occasional schedule changes and cancellations, it is advised to call before going. |

Upcoming Calendar of Events
With schedule changes, please check on performances before you attend.
I will only be listing Shows, Gigs & Events that I've been asked to list.
AS VEGAS OPENS UP the Entertainment Community will be here to support each other, as they always have, and bring the quality of entertainment that we all want and expect. Once everything is back to some normalcy, we need to come out and support ALL the performers and performances. "Let The Music Play On".

I WAS THINKING about doing a year in review, but I barely remember what I did last weekend. I will however tell you about some of my choice eateries. Italian being my favorite goes to Mastrioni’s on Hualapai. There are at least half dozen more that I enjoy but won’t mention them all. Looking for Thai? Lotus of Siam is the only place to go. World renowned, Lotus of Siam is tucked away in a not so desirable location, but well worth the trip to the east side of town on Sahara. Staying with the oriental theme, New York Chinese Restaurant is my choice for Chinese take out. With a few tables and two locations, take out is really all you can do. Dim Sum is another story. The Cathay House on Spring Mountain will treat you to a plethora of small dishes of various delicacies. A trained palate is definitely needed. How about some Greek food? The Mad Greek Café at Durango and Sahara is my first choice, and then again I haven’t been to many Greek restaurants in town. McMullen’sfor Irish, Famous Dave’s for ribs and burgers and of course, In and Out for the fast food burger. A small hole in the wall on Fremont Street East, Mamita’s was my choice for Cuban. Since finding out the health department had shut them down for a while, I will be looking for a new Cubano restaruant. Being not much of a Mexican fan, I can’t decipher one from another. Tapas however is another story. FireFly on paradise has a great vibe and intriguing menu. Bagelmania, my preference for breakfast, mainly because of their bagels. Scooped and toasted of course. But from a deli standpoint, I haven’t found one that I really look forward to for that pastrami or corn beef sandwich. Lots of steak houses in town but I haven’t eaten at all of them. Vic and Anthony’s is at the top my list. This is probably why I need to start dieting again.
LET’S LOOK AT music venues and places to hang out. Afternoon Jazz at E-String brings great big bands on weekends. After football season they will probably start Monday nights again. A little bar and gaming place that’s been around for over 35 years called the Dispensary Lounge, puts together a late night jazz scene on Friday and Saturday nights. Not much on the west side of town but I’m working on that. Some Blues at the Sand Dollar and other clubs around town. Alexis Park for a mix of R&B and Old School Dance. Open Mic’s on Mondays at Bootlegger and the Tap House. Hang out at Piero’s, The Lady Silvia and Salvatore’s piano bar. Other cool bar hangs would be Brio, Blue Fire and possible Kelly’s Steak House, just recently opened.
I don’t want you to think all I do is go out and eat and drink…what the Hell, life is too short, and much of it is lost by waiting! Certainly don’t let anyone tell you how to live yours!
