FRANK VIGNOLA'S HOT CLUB RETURNS TO UNION HALL COFFEEHOUSE FOR A SEARING TRIBUTE TO DJANGO REINHARDT AND STAPHANE GRAPPELLI with Caleb Hawley opening

In celebration of Django Reinhardt's 100th birthday, guitar virtuoso Frank Vignola, a leading proponent of Reinhardt's gypsy jazz style of playing, has assembled a topnotch quintet for a searing tribute to one of his earliest musical influences.

Only a musician the caliber of Frank Vignola, an accomplished and influential guitarist in his own right, could dare tackle the monumental task of honoring the centennial of the legendary Django Reinhardt.

"How versatile is Frank Vignola? He's collaborated with Lionel Hampton and Madonna, covers Mozart and Black Sabbath on the same record, and is one of Les Paul's favorite guitarists." - The Boston Globe

Opening for Frank Vignola will be Caleb Hawley.  Fresh off of American Idol, Caleb is warmly welcomed back to our stage after his brilliant performance last year when he opened for the Parkington Sisters.  With so many requests to have him back, NYC is just going to have to do without him on April 9th. He's all ours!

Tickets are available online, or at the door.  Call for reservation, please.

Doors open at 6:30 for best seating and socializing.  BYOB AND ENJOY THE FINE OFFERINGS AT OUR VIBRANT CAFE!!

Union Hall is handicap accessible at the Church St entrance, where there is an elevator to Union Hall.
