Churchill Grounds to close July 31

After nearly two decades of hosting weekly jazz performances, Churchill Grounds announced it will shutter its doors at its current location next to the Fox Theater as of July 31.

The upscale jazz club opened up in 1997, and has since hosted an array of jazz and blues bands from local rising stars to renowned touring groups. Prominent Atlanta jazz musicians such as Grammy-nominated trumpeter Russell Gunn oversaw jam sessions that provided an important training ground for locals to hone their talent in a city with few dedicated jazz clubs.

While Churchill Grounds' future remains uncertain, owner Samuel Yi wrote in a Facebook post that he is "looking for other locations and possible investors who [will] carry this music into a new Churchill in [the] near future."

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
