Beyu Caffe aims to show love to the Bull City, who has loved and supported them, by reviving live music performances at their 341 W Main Street location with their new “Winter Love Letter to Durham” pop-up series.
To celebrate 13 years of business in December and downtown Durham’s new social district, “The Bullpen”, the music series began Friday, December 2, 2022, and will continue to offer live music on Fridays and Saturdays for eight weeks, through January 21, 2023. (Plans are also in development for New Year’s Eve!)
Executive Chef Jounte Burrell is developing a new menu to accompany the series and continue “uplifting [the] community by bringing back this soulful music series that depicts our home.” Founder and CEO of the Beyu Group Dorian Bolden shares, “We are excited to celebrate our 13-year history with a unique lineup of music and artists. The limited music series is our gift to show love and say thank you to the Bull City and the surrounding triangle area for its support over the years and to remind each other that Durham is hitting a new stride after the pandemic.”
Notable music artist Al Strong of Al Strong Music, who has recently released the album “Love Stronger” (distributed by Virgin Music), is in partnership with Beyu Caffe to bring back live music to downtown. Al Strong Music will serve as the booking agent and music curator for Beyu’s music series. Upcoming musical talent includes JaShaun Peele, Dreamroot, and Tamisha Waden.
“I am excited about the upcoming artist lineup, as audiences will experience a varied musical experience of everything from Afrobeat and R&B to Jazz,” notes Strong. “Our initial lineup of local talent will not hold back on delivering a top-notch experience. Concert attendees can expect some explosive performances as artists hit the stage to celebrate the return of live music at Beyu Caffe.”
Tickets for the music series are on sale via Eventbrite. Each week features will be two separate shows on Friday and Saturday nights with limited seating for approximately 50 attendees and limited standing room. Tickets will start at $25 per person for seating, which includes a minimum spend of $20 on food and beverages. Standing room bar only tickets will go for $12 with no minimum.
Artists interested in performing at Beyu Caffe’s downtown location are asked to send their information to booking@beyucaffe.com.
