After Eight: Stefan Grossman

A student of the legendary Rev. Gary Davis,
Grossman studied with other country blues
guitarists including Mississippi John Hurt,
Son House, Skip James, Mance Lipscomb
and Fred McDowell. He formed the Even
Dozen Jug Band in the early 60s. His solo
career began when he recorded How to Play
Blues Guitar for Elektra Records in 1966. Today
he concentrates on producing his instructional
videos through Vestapol and live performances
like this are rare.

What is After 8?
After Eight is the Phil’s very popular new series of jazz, roots and unplugged gigs in the intimate setting of the Rodewald Suite. Nearly all of the After 8 series sold out in the Autumn, so book early to avoid disappointment. The Rodewald Suite, a delightfully intimate space, has its own entrance in Sugnall Street. Its cabaret seating, in-house bar, rooftop terrace, and the opportunity to meet the artists afterwards make it an ideal venue for a great night out with friends.

Doors open at 8pm, artist will start performance at approximately 8:30pm.

Tickets Information

Road Directions

If you are coming to Liverpool on the M62, finding the Philharmonic Hall is straightforward. Continue along the motorway until its end and then follow the signs for the city centre, cathedrals and universities (about 3 miles). Turn left at the Metropolitan Cathedral and head past the Everyman Theatre along Hope Street.

If lost, use this maxim: find one cathedral, head for the other. The Phil is halfway between the two.

Public Transport Directions

Philharmonic Hall is situated on Hope Street, approximately 10 minutes’ walk from the city centre. The main entrance is situated on Hope Street at the junction where Hardman Street meets Hope Street opposite the Philharmonic Public House. It is close to Central Station, Lime Street Station, Myrtle Street bus stops and several car parks.
