Voting Home / The Folkey Monkey @ Vision
Nominated for: BEST Live Music Venue
Located at Vision (Behind the Tierrasanta 7th Day Adventist Church), the Folkey Monkey is a showcase vehicle for acoustic singer/songwriters. Host Joe Rathburn and percussionist Jeff Stasny share the stage with a different invited guest songwriter. They trade original songs and stories for two hours straight. Also each week Joe's guest picks a favorite artist (or occasionally a topic) to whom they pay tribute throughout the evening. Since October 2005 The Folkey Monkey has been a popular and reliable source for good live folk/acoustic music presented in a listening room format.
Vision Center for Spiritual Living (Vision for short) is the home of the Folkey Monkey show. The list of positive attributes make it a perfect place. It has a great sound system permanently installed, there's a ton of free parking, and it's centrally located and freeway convenient; about a mile east of I-15 on Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Then, it's QUIET! No coffee grinders, no cappuccino machines , no traffic, no conversations taking place on the other side of the curtain! There are plenty of comfy chairs, and there is a kitchen where snacks and refreshments are available. Two spacious bathrooms make it complete.
If listening to great music is what you're after, then this is the right place, because listening is what this place is all about. If drinking and talking while the band is playing is your thing, this place isn't for you so don't bother.
