ST. LOUIS, MO – Schlafly Brewing has been a part of grassroots St. Louis culture from its inception in December of 1991, and has had a long standing reputation for hosting live local musicians, performing both during signature events and on their brewpub stages at the Bottleworks in Maplewood and the Tap Room in the city of St. Louis. The pandemic sidelined the tradition. Schlafly’s management and staff are excited to bring it back, beginning with regular evening engagements without a cover charge, happy hours, and monthly matinee events featuring live music. There are also plans to begin doing regular ticketed live events in the Tap Room’s Club Room.  

Dan Jameson, the new Director of Brewpub Operations said. “It’s been a part of our atmosphere for a long time.  We listened to the community, appreciate their love for live music and really feel like it’s time to go for it again. And we sure hope the people will come to support and enjoy it. Bring the kids, have dinner and enjoy a wide array of beverages; especially our great beer! It’s an exciting time at Schlafly, and we’re excited for 2024.”   

Andy Coco’s Dogtown Records & Entertainment, a recording and publishing company turned talent broker, will support the initiative by booking and managing the talent relationships.  “I’m very excited to be involved in restoring both the idea of a place to go and hear some local music, for both locals and visitors, but that it will have a signature of authenticity in the booking.  I’m a huge fan of the history of our music in this city and the Mississippi River Delta region, and am excited to put as much of that on Schlafly’s stages as we can find.” said Coco.

Live local musicians can be heard every Friday at The Tap Room, and every Saturday at the Bottleworks. This Friday, January 26 the series continues at the Tap Room featuring pianist Alexandra Sinclair with singer songwriter Neil C. Luke. Then Saturday the 27th the Bottleworks will host the Kingdom Brothers Duo, featuring Chris Shepherd and Ron Roscowske. Sets begin at 6:30pm and 8pm for these “No Cover Charge / Donations Accepted“ engagements.

“The number one question we get on the phone from guests is ‘will you be having live music tonight?’” says Kara Donsky, Bottleworks general manager. “We have a new menu, regular trivia and game nights, and these wonderful stages in both brewpubs, so we are crazy excited to begin 2024 by bringing live music back regularly on Saturdays at the Bottleworks, and on Fridays over at the Tap Room. And of course, we always have live local music at our signature events, Stout and Oyster Festival, Pig & Whiskey and Art Outside.”  

Schlafly’s Stout and Oyster Festival event will move to the Bottleworks and be held on March 8 and 9, 2024, a favorite during which Schlafly brings in and sells out of 40,000 oysters. Shuckers representing the origin of different styles of oysters from the various coasts are also brought in to be on hand to literally shuck their regions’ crop for festival goers, while multiple creative varieties of Stout Beers are also featured.

Kingdom Brothers Duo
Ron Roskowske is the lead guitarist and Chris Shepherd is the lead vocalist of the well known St. Louis Blues band Kingdom Brothers. Together they are The Kingdom Brothers Duo. The pair perform separate from the full band, playing many of the band’s original songs as well as some of their favorite interps that often have an original arrangement to keep the songs exciting and fresh for their fans. These two longtime St. Louis musicians represented their city at the 2018 International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN. Ron’s guitar playing and Chris’ vocals are just as amazing in this acoustic performance as they are with the full band. You don’t want to miss a chance to catch these guys in action.
