Through December, Georgetown’s SandboX Has Become a Live Jazz Club
Tucked away in the alley behind Café Milano is a performance playground. SandboX, a special events venue in Georgetown, is spending December serving as a modern jazz club featuring live performances in conjunction with the annual Georgetown GLOW exhibit and the Filament live dance performances nearby.
Open for only six shows, this intimate special event experience is perfect for music aficionados to enjoy quality entertainment, libations and light fare during an evening of jazz. And it could even lead to regular jazz performances in the space, says Bob Elliott, owner of SandboX, saying: “I think, as the song goes – This could be the start of something good.”
