Love of Music

Our mission is to bring the very best local and regional talent to the community, as well as national and world renowned musicians. By featuring world music and jazz, the Blue LLama Jazz Club is able to uplift the music with a world class stage, sound system and an overall ambience where the music can be fully appreciated.
Love of Food
at The Blue LLama
Jazz music is inspired by the diversity of American culture which we aim to highlight with Chef Louis Goral’s menu of jazz inspired American Shared Plates. Chef Louis’ new and exciting take on classic and innovative dishes highlights our fantastic music programming by utilizing the best local and imported artisanal ingredients. It is our mission for our guests to share a communal experience while sampling many different flavors throughout all of our musical performances.
