New Owners Determined to Recapture Essence of Dallas Landmark Jazz Club

DALLAS - July 17, 2015 - PRLog -- The Balcony Club was recently recognized as “Best Bar in East Dallas” by the Lakewood Advocate and “Best Jazz Club” by Dallas A-List. Founded in 1988, the speakeasy style lounge perched above the iconic Lakewood Theater boasts honors from Esquire, USA Today and Zagat. More than just awards, the accolades prove to be validation for owner Teddy Davey’s determination to revitalize the club’s commitment to great live music. He and his wife Lorena have worked diligently to revamp the performance schedule which offers live music seven nights a week.

The Balcony Club, despite renovations and modern touches, still oozes a low-key coolness of an era gone by as well as its (sometimes infamous) history. Davey says, “it is absolutely vital that this kind of intimate music lounge survive and thrive in our city and in particular the Balcony Club, with its rich history and deep rooted, personal connection with the community.”

Changes include supporting future local artists by providing weekly Monday night showcases for teen jazz groups from Booker T. Washington. Also, the club improved its lineup of performers, with dedicated nights for cabaret, jazz, and blues. Even the stage was remodeled and repositioned to enhance the music listening experience, capitalizing on the acoustics of the 1930’s structure. Together, these changes improve the live music, rededicate the club’s connection to the Dallas community and give visitors a truly memorable experience.
