  1. Derek Trucks, one of the greatest living musicians, has graced that stage/room as well during the 2001 Indy Jazz Fest celebration. Beautiful room, look forward to seeing the upgrades!

    1. Thanks for this note, Layton. I agree with your assessment of Derek. I attended that show as well as his 2000 show at Broad Ripple’s Patio. Two more Roof shows I recall: Brian Setzer Orchestra in 2000 and John Hiatt playing a private gig in 2001.

  2. Terrific place as my daughter had a sit down dinner and reception for her wedding of 400 attendees. Largest bar bill I have ever paid! Great evening that I always equated to a coronation and not a wedding. Unfortunately, marriage failed and she got rid of the dirt bag. Doing great these days!!!!!!!!!!!
