Gravois Park

Gravois Park anchors its live-music life along the Cherokee Street corridor, a stretch that holds two venues with very different personalities and two others for which specific booking details are harder to pin down. Casa Loma Ballroom, at 3354 Iowa Avenue, is a historic dance hall built in 1927 and renamed in 1935. Historically a "working-class" ballroom, it broadcast Mutual and CBS big band remotes nationally in the 1940s. Bandleaders including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller, and Harry James (with Frank Sinatra in 1939) all played the room. Today, it hosts swing, big band, jazz, and rock and roll, with dance lessons in waltz, fox trot, tango, Latin, and swing often taking place before the live music begins. A 16-to-24-piece orchestra plays Friday nights, with oldies dancing on Saturdays. Down Cherokee, El Leñador, Spanish for "the woodcutter," started as a banquet hall for the Latin community in 2005 before evolving into a music venue serving rock and roll. The room is a former German restaurant turned Mexican restaurant turned 70s wood-paneled rec room that hosts some of the most experimental music shows in town in an intimate setting. Yaquis on Cherokee and 'ssippi are also listed as live-music spots in the neighborhood, but specific, verifiable details on their programming were not available in the sources found.
