So the Big O and Dukes Show was ranting about the closing of T.T. Reynold’s on Thursday. Check out the audio from that show. They weren’t really sure when T.T.’s is closing, which is actually Sunday, July 27th, but I have to say that I like their rant against soccer moms. People need places to drink and watch music. That’s the bottom line. I was there on Thursday night and T.T.’s was absolutely packed with people of all ages. T.T. Reynold’s has been part of the History of the City of Fairfax and the City won’t even tear down the building because of its historical building. Word on the street is that its becoming a Vietnamese restaurant and while some people love Vietnamese food, it is probably not necessary to have 2 in the small City of Fairfax (with two more right outside the city).

There are some great bands lined up for T.T. Reynold’s finishing stretch. With so many lackluster performances over the years (there have been a lot of great ones, too), the bar has really been booking some great acts for the last month before it closes its doors. Tonight, Thursday, June 3rd, T.T. Reynold’s will be hosting one of the DC metro region’s most innovative bands, The Five One. With a unique blend of Hip-Hop, Jam Band, Rock and Reggae, The Five One sounds like something between Radio Head and Atmosphere. The show starts around 9:00pm with opening act Can’t Hang. See below for T.T. Reynold’s final schedule. (more…)

Saturday the 21st and Sunday the 22nd are two big days in Fairfax. I know that people think that the Fairfax Fair is a big deal, but for the past 3 years, the Throwdown Local Music Festival has been the premier event in Fairfax to hear great local music. Be sure to drop by T.T. Reynold’s and The Auld Shebeen to Rock out. Also keep in mind that this may be the one of the last times to have an all-out “Throwdown” at T.T. Reynold’s.

For those of you familiar with T.T. Reynold’s, you probably know that its been struggling to stay open for a while now. Not that business is bad, people are still rockin’ out at the bar every night of the week. The struggle has been with big money, gentrification and the City of Fairfax. The owner of the building has been trying to sell to build a new building on the land that T.T’s is on. The owners of T.T’s tried to buy the building, but the developers are willing to pay more money than most small businesses could ever dream of coming up with. So the rumor on the street is that the last night for T.T. Reynold’s will be July 31st. I will follow this as I hear more about it.

It can be difficult to find local music that you like to jam to because of so many choices at so many venues on any given night. Since no can be everywhere (and even I can be realistic that people don’t like to catch music every night of the week), it’s helpful to have a whole bunch of acts in one place. I’ve mentioned Locals Only Radio before to advertise their promotional shows at T.T. Reynold’s every Thursday, but this is bigger. This weekend, Saturday, June 21st and Sunday June 22nd, Locals Only Radio will be holding its third annual Throwdown Local Music Festival at The Auld Shebeen and T.T Reynold’s. (more…)
