For the first time in over a year, the Mohawk, a downtown haven for indie rock, punk and more live music, will open its doors to the public this summer.
The beloved Red River Cultural District club with a grizzly bear mascot and a guiding philosophy that all are welcome has been closed since the pandemic shut the world down in March 2020. According to a news release, the club will reopen on a limited basis in May with select shows, private events, and rentals, followed by more daytime events and reduced capacity outdoor shows in June.
While other venues have experimented with different models for reopening over the last several months, Mohawk owner James Moody opted to remain shuttered.

ATLANTA, April 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ April is Jazz Appreciation Month, and Clark Atlanta University recognizes Dr. James H. Patterson for his outstanding accomplishments in the Jazz Music industry. Dr. Patterson has made a lasting impact on our world through his work and commitment to keeping jazz music and its rich history alive.

Raised in Philadelphia, this is where the foundation of his musical roots in Jazz, Blues and other musical art forms were born. To hear Joey DeFrancesco today, his music embodies the traditional art form infused with a distinctly modern approach, just part of what makes his music unmistakably his own.
Joey DeFrancesco’s emergence in the 1980s marked the onset of a musical renaissance. Organ jazz had all but gone into hibernation from the mid-’70s to the mid-’80s until DeFrancesco reignited the flame with his vintage Hammond organ and Leslie speaker cabinet. The son of “Papa” John DeFrancesco, an organist himself, the younger DeFrancesco remembers playing as early as four years old. Soon after, his father began bringing him to gigs in Philadelphia, sitting in with legendary players like Hank Mobley and Philly Joe Jones, who quickly recognized his talent and enthusiasm.
