The Chill Room — Local services in Tempe

One of my least favorite parts of being a musician is that, in the bar scene, we as artists are incentivized to pressure our friends to drink more beer so we can get paid. What a breath of fresh air to find a great stage where we can hang out late into the night, drive home safely when we go, not worry about our friends, and still support a local venue.

We ended up watching, interacting and listening to a wonderfully talented band jam out for over 3 hours. It was like we had the Beatles, AC/DC, Bon Jovie, Heart and so many other live performances just for us.
