Fremont has always had a great selection of live music venues, but few currently compare in the eclecticism of the acts – and the audience – to Gypsy Music Café. Ben Steele, who owns the café with his wife, Debbie Steele, compared his space to “hanging out in your friends’ basement.” The family-friendly, all ages venue does feel like a laid-back rec room, one with drinks and eats prepared by someone else, and some of the fellow guests have talent.
Guests like those hanging out on Friday, May 27th, for the monthly ‘Who Shot J.R.?’ comedy show, organized by J.R. Berard. Or on Saturday, May 28th, starting at 8p, when the bands Blvd Park, Gravedigger and Drew Piston drop-by for the Folklife after-party.

Each month the space also accommodates a bluegrass jam session (Gypsy Jamboreeno,) square dancing, open mic nights with Linda Lee, Cajun night, Americana night, indie rock from the Wandering Infinity Collective, and free music workshops organized by Peter Tilson.
