KUPPAJOE ALL AGES NIGHTCLUB

Hello local music lovers, Unfortunately, we have some sad news for Kuppajoe and the central valley. Kuppajoe All Ages Nightclub will be shutting down as of February 28th. Trust us when we say that we did everything that we could possibly do to keep our doors open, but it is now beyond our reach. The nonprofit that we operate under, The Goorabian Family Life Center, will be dissolving and sadly that means our program will be terminated. Kuppajoe All Ages Nightclub has had a ...great run, 18 years to be exact, and there has been many times when we thought we would have to close its doors, but God had provided this outreach with opportunities and hard working passionate people to keep us afloat. However, everything that has a beginning also has an end, but we hope that you have enjoyed and have been blessed in some way by Kuppajoe as well our hard working staff, volunteers, and interns over the years. We have worked diligently to build long lasting positive relationships with those in our music and art community, this we see as a victory, but we also are faithful that Kuppajoe’s mission as a ministry will inspire others to continue to work with and support our central valley’s music scene. All of that being said, we have 2 concerts left on the calendar (January 30th and February 20th) that we hope you will be a part of for our final hurrah! The information for our second to last show is already posted on our website (http://www.Kuppajoe.com), but we’ll be releasing the line up for our final show this week, so keep your eyes locked on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and website for that. Trust me when I say that you won’t want to miss it. God bless you all, Jesse K. Kennedy Program Director Kuppajoe All Ages Nightclub

You guys remember that one time From Indian Lakes played and the room was so packed that you couldn't move, so you just had to stand there and bask in the awesomeness and glory of their music?

You guys remember that one time Rose Marshall put on that benefit show to help kick cancer's butt? Name two of the bands that played, and share a memory of the show to win absolutely nothing but the good feelings you will get from sitting still for a bit and remembering...

You guys remember when Demi Hunter used to make all that bomb rice? Bands, what was the best meal you had at KuppaJoe?

You guys remember that one time Children 18:3 played and they kindly asked us if they could light their drums on fire, so we said yes but then forgot to tell our sound guy Cody Mcnaught that it was gonna happen so he tripped out and thought the place was gonna burn to the ground? Yeah.... Memories.

You guys remember when we existed? Why not tell us about your favorite show? Just for old time's sake...
