Because of COVID-19 and city mandates restricting the use of our space such that we cannot currently operate we must rely on public assistance and generosity to get through these times. We ask, if you have the means, value what Rudy's brings to your life and would like to support the continuation of what we do by bringing live jazz to Nashville and nurturing the live creative process in an intimate setting, that you consider donating what you can and feel comfortable with to our cause, no matter how small it may be.
Money donated will assist Rudy's Jazz Room general business financial needs getting through these times until we can reopen. In the meantime, we thank you in advance for your support. Be safe and we will all get through this and resume normal daily life soon.
