Henry Turner Jr.'s Listening Room 12th Anniversary Celebration

BATON ROUGE, La. - EntSun -- Henry Turner Jr.'s Listening Room is pleased to announce its 12th Anniversary on Friday, February 20th from 7pm to midnight. The festivities will include a buffet and no host bar, with musical performances by Henry Turner Jr. & the Listening Room All-Stars and screenings of the documentaries "Henry Turner Jr. The Architect of Celebration" and "Minutes into the Life of Henry Turner Jr." Admission is $25 in advance and $30.00 at the door. The venue is located at 2733 North Street, Baton Rouge, LA 70802.

Henry Turner Jr.'s Listening Room opened on February 13, 2014 as a tribute to famed bluesman Tabby Thomas and is modeled after his club Tabby's Blues Box, which is where Henry cut his chops as a young musician, along with King Solomon who played in Tabby's band.

In 2015 the room moved to the Atrium at the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino. When that contract expired in 2016 an opportunity arose to take over the original facility and expand the hours of operation to Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
