for immediate release:


	After months of construction, false starts, and permit hearings, Jacks Sugar
Shack will reopen next week at the world-famous corner of Hollywood and Vine
- the site of the legendary Brown Derby restaurant. 

	As promised, Jacks has recreated the funky and friendly tiki decor that made
it a favorite of LA's music lovers and party-meisters: tropical murals adorn
the walls, bamboo and wicker prevail throughout the room, and we're bringing
back the waterfall too!!  

    In the past two years Jacks has played host to some of the biggest names
in blues, such as James Cotton, Junior Wells, Pinetop Perkins, Joe Louis
Walker, Little Charlie & the Nightcats and the Kinsey Report; country artists
Billy Joe Shaver, Junior Brown and Kelly Willis, and alternative faves Beck,
Supersuckers, Ween and Thelonious Monster. In addition, Van Morrison, Lou
Rawls, the Black Crowes, Chaka Kahn and others have all dropped by to perform
when they're in the neighborhood.

	Eddy Jennings is continuing the eclectic booking policy that proved so
successful in our previous location, and as before, our focus will continue
to be on the best blues and roots music we can find, both nationally and
locally. Anita Rivas will again be responsible for our alternative music
"Showcase Schmocase" on Wednesday evenings beginning in June. Capacity is
250, and sightlines are excellent from anywhere in the room. 

	Cuisine is 'American Continental' and features a variety of pastas,
sandwiches, appetizers, burgers and salads, along with fresh juices and
expresso drinks. As before, all beer is on tap, with at least twenty choices
available to start. Lunch will be served every day from 11:30 am - 2:30 pm,
and dinner nightly beginning at 5:00 pm. Tropical drinks will be in
abundance.

	Acts slated to appear in the next several weeks include: Junior Brown - May
8, The Paladins - April 27, and appearing on a regular basis will be old
friends Harry Dean Stanton and the Red Devils among others.

	All of us at Jacks are excited about our new space and getting to know our
new neighbors in Hollywood. We hope to see y'all soon!!!
