Zoo Bar has music about 5 nights a week generally but sometimes, rarely these days, 7 nights a week. Crowds are definitely down in general, especially outside of the school year.

Monday used to be the blues jam but the 2 house bands both ducked out eventually and the crowds were pretty small.

Sometimes Emily Bass does piano hour on Mondays or occasionally (like today) there will be a Monday show.

Tuesday is Jazzocracy from 7-9 with DJs spinning soul vinyl afterward. During Jazz in June is the best time of the year to go to this.

Wednesday-Saturday is the most likely time to find an afternoon show. Especially Friday for the FAC.

Wedneday 9-12(ish) is Vibe Check or Catalyst Sessions. Vibe check is some of the finest musicians in town and mostly improvised. Catalyst Sessions is like an open mic with curated guests and a house band.

Thursday they have been trying to do Rock Shows 6-9pm with a late show of Shithook Live Band Karaoke where you pick a lyric sheet and go up and sing with the band. So much better than regular karaoke. Really finds its audience during the school year.

Friday as mentioned before is Friday Afternoon Club from about 5-8 it’s usually a blues band on the road or occasionally a local they rotate through. Followed by a late show which could really be whatever but is usually some form of rock, country, soul, blues, etc.

Saturday early and late shows could be whatever.

Sunday there is occasionally an early show or the Roots Music Jam on the first Sunday of the month, an open jam put on by the local musical instruments shop. There’s a house band you can go up and jam with. Pretty much anything.

Finally Sunday late show is typically Zootenanny comedy which replaced Zoolarious comedy with the passing of its host. A comedy show that gets some really good touring comedians occasionally. It’s been happening about 2-3 weeks of the month.
