The Scene – Created as a haven for performers otherwise vulnerable to an exploitative club scene, this nonprofit dive is run by a network of volunteers and maintained by donations.

Eclectic Musical Showcase

by mphillips_citysearch at Citysearch

Try to catch Fred Sokolow one night. I saw him do Gershwin tunes on the electric guitar. I've seen him there playing guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro and other things with strings, country and blues on his own and with former NGDB member John McKuen, fiddler Ian Whitcomb, and Fred's own son, Zachary, an accomplished musician on the banjo. The shed seats about 50 -- on chairs, couches, and the floor. The mix is mostly accoustic, but anything goes: blues, jazz, folk, all sorts of solos and ensembles. There are snacks in the back, but no dinner, so eat before you go. It's worth a try even if Fred's not on that night.

The Details on Kulak's Woodshed

When to Go:

The space is a mere 850 square feet and the capacity is only 40 people. Expect a tight squeeze on weekends--best to arrive early to avoid ending up without a seat.

Look Good:

Donation buckets are subtly situated around the tiny space. There's no pressure to contribute, but performers may discretely encourage it.

Know Before You Go:

The club doesn't sell alcohol, but coffee, tea, soda, water and juice are available in the back room on the honor system.
