The Treehouse at 2A

Alright, groovy people...on a much more serious note...please read..as it would mean a LOT to me and many people I truly care a great deal about. Greetings, friends of 2A (this includes Lady Stardust, the Treehouse)- I know we are all going through a tough time. All are affected, some more than otherssome much, much more. Some of these folks that are badly affected are those in the service industry. Because of the crushing insanity of it all, MANY of our employees (our fami...ly!) Have spent DAYS, with no success, on the government site trying to sign up for unemployment. It is frustrating and downright scary, to be honest. We are ALL out of work. Entirely. If you’ve been to 2A, you probably know how great it is, and how wonderful the staff is. I am proud to call these folks my friends and second family. If you’ve followed me or the Treehouse over the years, you know the respect I have for the coolest corner bar on the planet. I had my first beer at 2A in 1986. Myself and Donovan have been there 25 years as of March for him, and April for me. 2A means a LOT to everybody there, and hopefully to YOU. I honestly can’t tell you how many times people have told me I met my wife/husband here(I usually respond with ‘so you’re here to kill me now?’ )We have watched our regulars marry, have kids, and we’ve watched those kids grow up. We’ve tried to help some through divorces, and many, many breakups! We have shared the good times and the bad times together. Wherever your ‘local’ is, I think you’ll understand what I’m saying. It’s not just serving a drink. It’s hard to speak for everyone, but I think my co-workers will agree. We love 2A and can’t wait until it opens again. Not just for the incomebut for the friendship and camaraderie. And YOU are included in that. I’ve had many customers become lifelong friends. That’s for damn sure. Since there is no end in sight of this downtime, I guess what I’m trying to say, is, if you are in the position to help these incredible folkseven the slightest bitit would sure be greatly appreciated. Some have families to support. New babies at home. It’s a scary timeso, if there was ever a time 2A was there for you in a time of need, please consider donating. And when this all endsman, oh, manwe are gonna open with a BANG! https://www.gofundme.com/f/2a-staff-fundraiser See more

Ugh....it hurts my heart to say for the first time in 8 years and 9 months of the Treehouse, i have to cancel a show for the first time. Due to the law that goes into effect today, we have to run at 50% capacity...and one thing i won't do is turn people away from the venue (which wouldn't be fair to the performers, the audience or the bartender). I was really looking forward to Puma Perls night up there this Sunday. She had a heckuva line up of music and poetry. PLEASE suppor...t her by going on amazon and buying her fantastic books (and the newest one, which i read TWICE, is on sale at Gem Spa!) This may be this way for a while...let's hope not...AND, when we come back, it will be with a big freaking BANG! It's the best thing for everyones safety, too.....becuase...you know...all we ever do up at the Treehouse is lick each others faces! I will definitely keep you up to date. This is a rough one. Be safe, people...and you KNOW I love ya! XO Tom and Jenni and the Treehouse. See more

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! This Sunday at the Treehouse is Stephanie's All-Beatle Birthday Bash! That's right, the best musicians around are performing ALL Beatle related tunes...from the Cavern Club to the Solo years! I was at one of the rehearsals for this, and the bands and singers are really cookin'! Some real surprises, too, with the song choices! Gonna be a fun night of music and a real fab hang, too! Come help Steph kickstart 41 with a big Beatle Bang! See ya there! xo Tom

Oh, man, oh Manischewitz, do we have a GREAT night for you this Sunday at the Treehouse...it's the return of the amazing GENE CASEY and the LONE SHARKS! Gene and the gang are continuing their residency here (hey, I don't offer these to many people, that's for sure) and they are bringing along some folks that are LONG overdue up at the ol' T.H....The Demolition String Band! That's right! Boo and Elena are bringing their magic back and we couldn't be more pleased! This is a helluva double-barreled night....Insane amounts of talent on one stage...when I see these groups, all I can think was "I REALLY should have practiced guitar more....a LOT more....!!" Gonna be swinging.... xo Tom

Hey! It's Ladies Night and the feelings right...oh, what a night, oh what a night! The right, folks, this Sunday at the Treehouse is ruled by the fairer sex! These lovely dames can SING, baby, and they are joining forces for a super-duper night up in the branches of the Treehouse! The Grande Dame, Li'l Mo (Monica Passin) has, once again, put together a beautiful night of song (and FUN!) with her own group, Monette, and Dirtbag (I love this band name, by the way!) ! Check out the singers...Monica Passin, Rembert Block, Sherryl Marshal, Lizzie Edwards, Erica Smith and Deborah Berg. PLUS there are going to be special guests! This is one solid night of entertainment, folks! Can't Wait! xo Tom
