Get ready for a whole day of entertainment for a good cause with hosts Jonn Richardson & Ezra Washington. Music, BBQ plates, holiday bake sale, vendors and more! Join us for a day of celebration and support our local area children in need so they can have a great holiday season!

Emmit’s Place Needs You

As many of you might have heard, Susan, the operator of Emmit’s Place and an avid supporter of live music, was recently diagnosed with cancer. She is focused on the health battle ahead and will be unable to fully operate the club on her own over the next several months.

While she has insurance to cover her medical care, Emmit’s Place will not be able to support paying all of the hours of labor each week that Susan typically works unpaid. We are requesting donations to help cover these labor costs so we can keep the doors open at Emmit’s Place. Large or small, any donations are greatly appreciated.

There is also Featured Art for Sale that supports the cause – scroll down this page to view the extraordinary pieces currently for sale. These pieces are on display at Emmit’s Place, so come by and see them.

To make a donation and read updates from Susan about progress in her health battle, please visit the GoFundMe page at the link below.

EMMIT’S PLACE WILL BE CLOSED APRIL 4TH & APRIL 18TH
