Phoenix punk legends JFA performing at Rhythm Room.
The Rhythm Room is a Phoenix live music landmark. The bunker-like club along Indian School Road owned by local bluesman Bob Corritore has jumped and jived for 34-plus years. Rhythm Room concerts are something many local music lovers have experienced, given the sheer number of gigs it’s hosted.
The no-frills joint — which features a bar, stage, seating and little else — opened in 1991 and became the house that blues built. Kings of the genre like Chico Chism, Pinetop Perkins, Sanford Clark and Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown have all graced its stage over the decades. The venue’s also featured artists across many other genres over the decades, including Mumford and Sons, Of Montreal and King Khan.
You’ll find a similar mix of styles throughout the Rhythm Room’s concert offerings for the rest of 2025. Standouts include blues guitarist Sue Foley, Swamp rock freakazoids Southern Culture on the Skids and folk-pop sister duo Fionn.
