...Charlotte is getting a homegrown version of a House of Blues or Hard Rock Cafe — that's what's going down the Blvd. ... or going up rather.
The Blvd. is located down the Boulevard ... Independence, that is, where Stir used to be, but they are stirring it up completely. For starters, it’s not a nightclub anymore — it’s an all-genre entertainment venue. And I do mean all genres.
They have a big-name schedule and diverse calendar penciled in, but general manager Marc Harding said they do not wish to announce it just yet. But Marc did tell me the schedule will include a blend of country acts to pop to beachy music, to old school pop, to '70s and '80s mix. From local to national acts and concerts to comedy.
Wednesday night is comedy night, Thursday will host local to regional bands, Friday and Saturday are slated for national acts and a Gospel Brunch on Sundays.
Another thing they're blending is food. The Blvd. has a secret recipe combining food and entertainment where every ticket includes a show as well as a meal, thus filling your plate to appease all aspects of your palate. Dinner and a show anyone?
Their soft opening is Oct. 24 featuring American Idol's Bo Bice.
The Blvd. is located on Independence Blvd. on the corner of great food and entertainment
