“… and to the good friends we’ve lost, all along the way.”

Welcome Back to JasonRiley.Com!

We here at the dotcom were very disappointed to hear of the closing of one of our favorite venues. “O’Dowd’s Little Dublin” in North Kansas City was a favorite stomp for Soca, the JR Trio and JR solo over the last several years. The Soca Duo also had a record run on Wednesday nights there.
Great spot with a stellar staff and fairly close to home. We hear this landmark venue may have succumb to the faltering economy and to excessive rent prices in the bustling KC shopping area of Zona Rosa (“kill my landlord”). Wishing the great people there all the best in their next adventure. Any other business would be lucky to get them. We’ll say “thanks for the good times” and “adieu” with a traditional Irish toast…

“May you be in Heaven a half an hour before the devil knows your dead”

On to the next area Irish Pub…
Soca Jukebox returns to NKC this Saturday. First time for the band at the last bastion of Island flavor (Emerald or Gilligan’s) north of the river, Paddy O’Quigleys. It’s Irie-ish!
