Instead of one country band playing Friday, Saturday and Sunday we have three bands a night. They're all talking to friends and getting them to come down here. The power of word of mouth cannot be discounted. Business was good. Turf Club bartenders and servers were happy as they emptied their pockets at the end of the night.
Younger people tend to be a little looser with their parents' money.
And with the new crowd came a decrease in problems. We found the rock crowd to be easier to deal with. The cowboys can get kind of ornery. Today, the Turf is one of the premiere music venues in the Twin Cities. Bands phone almost non-stop hoping to book a gig.
