The Hot Club of Black Rock at Nod Hill Brewery

Think a smoky Parisian cafe at four in the morning.

The Hot Club of Black Rock pay homage to Django Reinhardt, playing hot swing, or jazz manouche, the kind of jazz that filled Paris in the 1920s and 1930s. The Moulin Rouge end of the spectrum, in a brewery in Ridgefield.

Good to know. The show is free and it is indoors in the Backspace. No tickets, no reservations, no RSVP, and seating is first come, first served.

Where to go. Nod Hill Brewery sits on Ethan Allen Highway in Ridgefield, an easy run for anyone in lower Fairfield County.
