Tim Rushlow and His Big Band Announce 10 Show Holiday Residency At Rudy's Jazz Room In December

Rudy's Jazz Room and Hippie Radio are excited to present Tim Rushlow & His Big Band Classic Christmas for a 10-show holiday residency at the popular Nashville speakeasy in the Gulch on December 6, 7, 8, 14 and 15. Show times for each night are at 7:00PM and 9:30PM with both General Admission dinner and show tickets and special VIP dinner and show packages that include special gift bags, a meet-and-greet, and intimate pre-show performance with Rushlow. Tickets are available here.

Nashville's 94.5 Hippie Radio will be the presenting radio station for the Rudy's Jazz Room residency and will also air a weekly one-hour radio show called "Tim's Place," hosted by Rushlow, which will debut on Sunday, October 14 at 10:00PM CT. "Tim's Place," sponsored by the award-winnging Belle Meade Bourbon, will showcase some of Rushlow's own personal favorite jazz and Great American Songbook standards along with his own Billboard-charted big band songs, plus his trademark quick wit and deep knowledge of the music from the golden era of American popular music.

The New King of Swing, Rushlow and his all-star Big Band, along with his daughter and featured guest vocalist, Bailey Rushlow, will delight and entertain the crowd in the cozy, warm and intimate Prohibition-era setting of Rudy's Jazz Room with timeless Christmas classics that will touch the heart, along with "Rat Pack" hits from Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin and Dean Martin, as well as fan favorites from Judy Garland, Buddy Holly and many others. Rushlow and his Big Band carry on the musical romance and swagger of an earlier era and will transport patrons back to a time when Christmas was "Classic." Retro swing and ultra-cool, intoxicating musical class, coupled with Rudy's tasty libations and a delicious dinner of tasty New Orleans' finest cuisine will make for magical and unforgettable nights to remember. Known for his high-energy performances and his ability to captivate every audience, Rushlow is first and foremost an entertainer. He first achieved multi-platinum success in the '90s as the powerhouse lead vocalist of country super group Little Texas, with chart-toppers such as "God Blessed Texas," "What Might Have Been" and "Amy's Back In Austin." A three-time Grammy nominee, CMA and ACM Award winner, Rushlow is now living his life-long dream as a curator of the Great American Songbook.

A versatile entertainer who sold millions of records during his time as lead singer of country music super group Little Texas, Tim Rushlow is a master song interpreter with a deep, abiding love for the classics. During the band's impressive run in the '90's, he and the rest of the Little Texas members charted over a dozen hits including "God Blessed Texas" and the multi-genre crossover smash "What Might Have Been." Following the band's breakup, Tim embarked upon a solo career with Atlantic Records and released a self-titled CD that yielded the heartwarming Top Ten hit "She Misses Him," about a couple's touching battle with Alzheimer's. Following a few more endeavors in musical groups and pairings, in 2009 Tim decided to refocus his energies on honing his performing skills as a solo act, launching a well-received acoustic tour at smaller listening rooms around the country. The challenge of engaging audiences and laying his emotions bare on the stage in front of intimate crowds night after night fired up Tim's creativity to a new level and renewed his love for the classic sounds he grew up listening to and first cut his musical teeth on like Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, Dean Martin, and Andy Williams. And the experience soon inspired him to take his career in a whole new direction as the modern-day crooner he had always envisioned himself to be.

Rudy's Jazz Room is an authentic jazz experience in Music City USA. Standing out as a beacon in the city and filling a huge void, Rudy's Jazz Room raises Nashville to the level of other great cities like New York, New Orleans, Chicago, Boston, Portland, and many more, and truly allows Nashville to live up to its name as "Music City" with a full-fledged and accessible jazz club, embracing and contributing to the flourishing Nashville scene. Much attention to detail has been put into Rudy's design, aesthetics, and environment which, alongside its great music and food, is one of its greatest appeals to customers seeking a unique, warm, and intimate late-night bar and jazz club experience. The design and layout of the club is very eclectic, warm and cozy, and very "New York City meets New Orleans" vibe, similar to Smalls jazz club in New York City, and many other intimate listening room style jazz clubs throughout the world. Think late night, dark, warm, intimate, eclectic, fine food and drinks and most of all fine jazz. With the assistance of renowned acoustic designer Michael Cronin, the listening room is being built with great attention to acoustics, combined with a beautiful Steinway Model B grand piano. With a love of jazz and desire to be able to have similar experiences of his favorite jazz clubs in New York City, co-owner Adam Charney was inspired to create an authentic jazz club experience in Nashville. Having grown up in Nashville, and being intimately familiar with the growing music scene and the void of a true jazz club that has grown increasingly obvious over the years, it became apparent to Adam that he and longtime friend Michael Braden should make it happen. Chef and co-owner Braden heads up the kitchen serving some of New Orleans finest cuisine. Born in New Orleans, and raised on his family's rich history of creole cuisine, Michael soaked up the culinary experiences offered in the city, and eventually ventured into his own successful culinary endeavor. Now heading up the kitchen at Rudy's Jazz Room, be prepared to experience authentic New Orleans cuisine right here in Nashville. Located in the popular Gulch area, Rudy's Jazz Room is centrally located, while offering a unique experience rivaled by no other club in Nashville, combining jazz seven nights a week with an intimate environment, fine cuisine and exquisite drinks.
