Rear Window Listening Room 10th Anniversary Celebration with Hamilton Loomis

 

 

 

Rear Window Listening Room in Ganado will host Katy, Texas-based blues/funk artist Hamilton Loomis in concert at Devers Creek Park in Ganado on Saturday, September 19 at 7pm. The concert is being hosted by Rear Window as a celebration of the music venue’s 10th Anniversary.

 

Loomis, one of the venue’s most popular acts, has performed with his band at the Rear Window several times a year since early 2011. At one performance, while thanking the audience for attending, proclaimed from the stage that the Rear Window is “...one of the best live music venues in the State of Texas...” A protege of the legendary Bo Diddley, Loomis’ unique style is influenced by the blues, rock, and soul music that he grew up listening to at home. This unique style, along with his stage presence and audience interaction, always makes for an entertaining show.

 

The Rear Window was opened by Clinton Tegeler and Alan Vajdos on September 17, 2010 to bring live, original music to the community. Over 300 concerts have been performed in the venue, which has also hosted five live plays after becoming home to Ganado’s Townhall Players community theatre in 2018. Ganado Rotary Club holds their regular meetings at Rear Window, and has hosted events there, as well.

 

Named for the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock film, Rear Window, the venue has also hosted two themed movie nights, and is available for rental for meetings, showers, and small receptions. While being closed since March due to current COVID restrictions, the venue has been undergoing a number of improvements to the facility, including a new lobby and public entrance, and a new parking area and patio.

The event is BYOB, but no glass will be permitted, and other park rules will be enforced. The concert will be general admission festival seating, so attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. The gates will open to the grounds at 6pm, and the concert will begin at 7pm.
