The Holy Moly is a recently-revitalised old Masonic Temple building in the centre of the Historic Downtown Blues precinct of Clarksdale, Mississippi. Listed on the National Register of historic buildings, The Holy Moly was purchased by an Australian couple, Carla Maxwell and Adrian Kosky, in 2012, empty, and unused. They converted the building in to an apartment building, diner, and an event venue...and then they made it their American home. The revitalisation work on the second floor at The Holy Moly was completed in 2015. The floor plan lends itself to more creative endeavours by Adrian and Carla. It incorporates a theatre space for music, film and story telling, an event room with a commercial kitchen, an office with living facilities for guests, a meeting room, and a green room/video lounge for their guest-musicians at the back of the theatre. The unusual floor plan of The Holy Moly has been retained and recycled to suit and accommodate Adrian & Carla's goal to host groups of people for workshops, leisure education, and cultural activities in their home. Their home theatre is a perfect setting for respectful, listening, audiences appreciating the value of live performance in an intimate setting. Musicians from around the world love the acoustics, comfort, and original masonic lay-out of the raised perimeter platform with higher stages that allow multiple performance positions. The Holy Moly Theatre first opened for Juke Joint Festival 2015, as a night time concert venue and continues to be an official JJF nighttime venue.

Carol and I are so happy to be playing for the Clarksdale Juke Joint Festival this Saturday night at 9 to 11 at the Holy Moly. It's such a cool venue. Great acoustics, sound system and lighting. We have an amazing lineup of incredible musicians joining us for a great night of fun. Tulsa legend, Little Joe McLerran, Pittsburgh's Charlie Barath Harmonica player extraordinaire, Houston Texas artist with deep delta roots, Ray Cashman, Da Boneman Randy Seppala, direct from Milan Italy Alessandro Ponti will amaze you, and last, but certainly not least the great guitarist Guitar Frenchie will also be on board. Carol and I feel so lucky and honored to have such talented friends. So put on your party hats and come to the Holy Moly on Saturday 9 to 11 GV

Thank you to everyone who came and helped us celebrate the 100th year of The Holy Moly building! Your friendship and love of music is so important to the continued life of the OLD Masonic temple building (aka the American Home of Adrian Kosky and Carla Maxwell). And, thank you Grant Peeples and Ruthi Nickens for traveling all the way from Tallahassee, Florida, to create such a wonderful house concert!

If you weren't able to be there with us on the 24th of September but would like to know about our future house concerts and other gatherings, please let us know! Send us your phone number, or like this page, or send us an email....We have a list of names we think might be interested in events at The Holy Moly, but we aren't sure unless you let us know.

Thanks again to all you folks who helped us celebrate last month! We loved seeing you in our home!

Cheers, Carla & Adrian
