Bill Meredith: "Bamboo Room reopens briefly, with a bang"—see below for performers later today

Bill Meredith has this special report in the Post about the Bamboo room. An excellent piece with some history of the venue and the special acts performing there tonight. Here are two excerpts:

     Any reopening by the Bamboo Room in Lake Worth, one of South Florida’s top all-time nightclubs, qualifies as can’t-miss [emphasis added] — even if it’s for three nights only.
     The iconic venue, purchased from previous owners Russell Hibbard and Karen McKinley earlier this year, officially lit back up on Thursday with sets by soul singer Bobbi Conwell and reggae/funk/ska quintet The People Upstairs.

     “This place is special,” says managing director David Minton, Blaine’s father. “Musicians, patrons and sound engineers from throughout South Florida all think it’s important that it comes back as a live venue. We’re hopeful, and our new slogan is simply ‘For the Music.’”
     See jazz group Lina & the Blue Collective from 7-9 p.m. and reggae-rockers the Mighty Quinn from 9:30 p.m.-2 a.m. on Friday, and jazz by Renee & the Chills from 5-6:30 p.m., reggae fusion by the Charley Sol Project from 7-9 p.m., and blues and funk by Mumbo Jumbo from 9:30 p.m.-2 a.m. on Saturday, all for free at the Bamboo Room, 25 S.
