In general at B&B, you’ll be good if  you byob and a twenty to help pay the musicians! Kids under twelve are free and welcome, and teens & music students can take in a show for five or ten bucks.

We’re open regular store hours this week and next — selling books noon to six pm every day but Monday, with jazz at 6pm Fridays and late shows most Fridays from 8:30-10, jazz every Saturday evening from 7:30-9:30pm and live music most Sundays at 5pm (no music New Year’s Eve this year).

Donations to the store’s nonprofit “Bird & Beckett Cultural Legacy Project” help to close the gap between audience revenues and the musicians’ guarantees. Do donate if you appreciate having a steady diet of live music in Glen Park at Bird & Beckett, and appreciate having a little bookshop in the neighborhood. Our individual donors are the ones who make this all possible! Scroll up to the navigation bar to find a donate button, or stroll down to the shop with a check. We’ll be happy to see you.

Happy New Year!
