THE DUNSMORE JAZZ ROOM (Indoor) –

An intimate showroom with lake views, dedicated HVAC, and exceptional sightlines. Table seating for parties of 2 to 4, limited availability for parties of 6 (email boxoffice@croonersloungemn.com). Dinner and cocktail seating and service begins 1 hour before showtimes in Dunsmore.

VENUE DESCRIPTION

Named one of the world’s top venues by Downbeat Magazine, Crooners Supper Club presents dinner-show concerts in three distinct venues–the all-season tented Belvedere, the elegant, tiered showroom The MainStage, and the intimate Dunsmore Jazz Room. Musical styles range from jazz, R&B and soul, to roots, rock and country.

SEATING PROTOCOL

Cocktail and dinner seating begins one hour before showtimes in the Dunsmore. Crooners’ menu features our signature cocktails and desserts, and a selection of supper club classics, salads and sandwiches that are locally sourced, amply-portioned and prepared fresh daily. Adhering to our old-school Midwest supper club values, guests are never rushed.

OUR LISTENING POLICY

Crooners is a listening environment.  Because the quality of the shows is very high, and many in our audience are avid music lovers, we support both our guests and our artists by enforcing a “no talking during the show” policy.  Side conversations and singing along with the music (unless when prompted) are discouraged.

Minnesota’s Peter Mayer has been singing and songwriting full-time for 25 years, performing in venues across the United States and beyond. He writes songs for a small planet–songs about interconnectedness and the human journey–songs about life on earth and the mysterious and wondrous fact of our existence. He also writes songs about dress hats, pumpkins and pajamas, and even love and freight trains just like a good folk musician should. His music has been performed by artists like Kathy Mattea, David Wilcox, Claudia Schmidt, Anne Hills, Priscilla Herdman, Darryl Purpose, Billy Jonas, and Ronny Cox, to name a few. His work has been included in song books, church hymnals, and folk radio playlists across the country. Peter has eleven albums to his credit, and has sold over 100,000 of them. He lives in Stillwater, Minnesota with his wife and two daughters. Website.
