St. Elmo’s Bar in Bisbee Az

Our bass/keyboard player, Ron spent his recent birthday in Bisbee Az. After 40 years of living in Arizona, it was about time to visit this historic landmark. Especially considering Ron & his girlfriend Carla spent almost 17 years living in Jerome Arizona, another historic mining town. Several bars were visited over a few days, but this bar, was very unique. Legend has it that one of the previous owners, or a previous owner stipulated that nothing changed on the walls in this bar. If you take a close look at the wall by peeking past all of the items on the wall, you may notice a yellow tinge. That’s got to be from decade upon decade of cigarette and cigar smoke are evident, before Arizona went smoke free indoors. St. Elmo’s has been in this location since 1902 so there are plenty of unique and original items to look at. What interested Ron most is the adjoining room. Holy Crap! There’s a stage, sound equipment already there and some dance floor! This seemed to be a great place as a potential gig opportunity for the Hold my Beer Band! It just so happened that a friendly employee or local, not sure which, was able to introduce me to Sue, the owner of the bar. As soon as I gave Sue the pitch about the band she asked, “What’s the name of your band”? As soon as she heard we named our band the Hold my Beer Band, she replied, “Oh Hell Yeah”! We exchanged phone numbers for the purpose of texting, who really talks on phones these days, and I figured I would hear from her in a week or so. Well, she must have liked our Facebook presence or our website and offered us a date in a text. The boys enthusiastically agreed and we are beyond excited to be playing a gig in Historic Bisbee Arizona at St. Elmo’s. We hear that St. Elmo’s Bar in Bisbee Arizona is “Fire”!
