The following Sunday, Dimitri’s hosts “But-tah’s Jook Joint and Live Cabaret Show.” The performance includes music from the 1940s to the 70s, as the group takes their audience on a musical ride of “interactive entertainment” through the origins of Rhythm and Blues. Be sure and try out Dimitri’s jumbalaya as well as their drink special, Jook Juice.
“They go back and they do costume changes and everything,” said Terry. “It’s a big live show.”
But-Tah’s Jook Joint and Live Cabaret Show is Sunday, October 23, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 per person; doors open at 5:30 p.m.
