If you’ve been to the BOP STOP in the past month, you already know that we’ve been slowly rolling out a new kitchen partnership. And if you haven’t been, now you know!
Join us in welcoming malloysbbq as the BOP’s new kitchen partner! Stuart and Shelley Malloy are offering some delicious flavors and tender smoked selections to our audiences! We are making plans for what comes next, but for now, stop in for dinner, drinks, and a show sometime very soon!
Tonight at 8pm!!
HORNS AND THINGS
"HORNS & THINGS" is the powerhouse contemporary jazz ensemble that has pleased audiences throughout the years! The group was founded by saxophonists J.T. Lynch and Ken LeeGrand. In an effort to find a place for their music, which could fit the modern genre and fulfill the needs in the Main Stream market, they teamed with Bassist, Derrick James, Keyboardist, Sakait Baksar and Drummer, Ray Harvin to form the nucleus of the band. Percussionist Bill Ransom has been an addition on various recording sessions and performances.

Abstract Sounds followed by Jazz Jam Session at 10pm
Abstract Sounds is a 6-piece Alternative Jazz Fusion band from Cleveland, OH. Led by saxophonist Jevaughn Bogard. The band formed in late 2021 from a collection of jazz and dance music lovers who met over 15 years at Cleveland School of the Arts and who all just couldn't get enough Snarky Puppy , Ghostnotes and Funky Knuckles. Abstract Sounds combines a variety of jazz idioms, soul music, drum and bass and funk. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses deep harmony with a driving drum and bass sound and hard hitting horn lines that will make you want to dance and sing along all night.

Joe Hunter & Tim Matson
Don Sebian described Joe and Tims’ January 29, 2025 show at the Bop Stop this way: "Two exciting and wonderful sets of jazz, blues and more presented by Tim Matson and Joe Hunter at the Bop Stop Wednesday evening. The concert included an unexpected range of musical diversity and an extraordinarily impressive level of interplay between the two. The music was tight, the mood was comfortable, relaxed and locked into every note."

Tomorrow night, y’all! I know the #Cavs are going to game 7, but I heard there’s a really great big band playing at @bopstoptms . Honestly though, we’ll get you out before the game ends, so come hang with us and listen to some of the baddest cats in town play a bunch of my music (plus one by my student @aaronbwhite ) before you head over to your nearest bar of choice to catch the last part of the game.
