St. Louis
Banjo CluB
The ST. LOUIS BANJO CLUB was formed in 1969 and has continuously brought the sounds of the four-string banjo to audiences for more than 45 years.
The Club currently has 50 members encompassing ages from 30 to a young 102. As many as twenty players show up on the second and fourth Thursday of each month to play music, mostly from the early 1900s, also known fondly as the songs from “Tin Pan Alley”. The Club members strive to keep this music alive and well for many years to come.
We really appreciate the support of our audience and encourage you to sing-a-long to the songs. The lyrics to those songs are projected on the wall, not unlike the old “Shakey Pizza” days.
Everyone who plays a four-string banjo is welcome to become a member. If you are new to the banjo, you will find a group of people who will help you learn and improve your banjo skills.
We usually play at Concordia Turner Hall, 6432 Gravois Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63116. This location is in south St. Louis, one block east of Kingshighway on Gravois. Click HERE for information about our venue.
