The best little venue that not enough people know about...
Posted by Lorna Bracewell on Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 3:33 PM
Have you ever been to a listening room? I'm not talking about a theatre where folks may come to listen but first they have to contend with uptight ushers, mediocre seats and expensive drinks. I'm not even talking about a coffeehouse where folks may come to listen but are hard pressed to do so over the gurgle of the cappuccino machine, the murmur of the pretensious yuppies who didn't come to listen and the hiss of the cheap ass PA. I'm talking about a true listening room with immaculate acoustics, an intimate environment and an attentive audience. You're probably thinking, "Where the hell do you think you are? Boston? This is Tampa Bay, sweet cakes. We ain't got none of them high fallutin' listenin' rooms around here." Ummmm, yes we do...
Pro Star Sound Stage is a recording studio by day but by night it is by far one of the finest listening rooms in which I have ever had the privilege of performing. It's cozy (it seats about 100 people), it's quality (did I mention it was a fully functioning, professional recording studio?) and it's owned and operated by two avid music lovers with a knack for spotting and supporting emerging singer/songwriters.
If you love indy folk, are burnt out on Skipper's or are just looking to sample something eclectic and new, you have got to catch a show at Pro Star. The next installment in their "Celebrate the Songwriter" series is Saturday, November 22 at 8pm (doors at 7:30pm). It features four talented and local independent artists, Ngaire, Blaine Lewis, Stephanie Anderson and Papos Frassica. If you've heard them before, I promise you haven't heard them like this. If you've never had the pleasure, do yourself a favor.
I've made the rounds on the earnest singer/songwriter circuit of this great nation and I've performed at some of its premier venues. Nevertheless, it is always a pleasure for me to return home to the best little venue that not enough people know about and that Tampa Bay is exceedingly fortunate to lay claim to. Boston, eat your heart out!

I agree. Prostar is a great room. This town doesn't even know the gems they have...

I've gotten several Facebook messages asking me where the hell Pro Star is. Here's the address: 3220 28th Street N. Saint Petersrburg, FL. My bad for not including this in the original post!
Loved the review I thought the same I cannot challenge it in anyway. Have you got a list of your current review for me to read? I have also created some reviews for you to read on my blog...
Good morning. A rumor without a leg to stand on will get around some other way. Help me! Help to find sites on the: Christian college with criminal justice degree. I found only this - associate criminal justice degree. Criminal justice degree, busy officers are given entirely. Criminal justice degree, if the line has both the inmates, it points it is applied among the students significantly already as players. Thanks :rolleyes:. Amaris from Emirates.
