“We love to support local artists but plan to book big names as well,” says Bush. The venue will feature live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday and holidays. “The music scene at Ball & Chain will infuse contemporary sounds with old school Cuban jazz and salsa,” says co-owner Zack Bush. The three Miami natives and entrepreneurs have completely revived the entertainment venue while preserving its cultural elements to reclaim its reputation as a power player in Miami’s nightlife scene with a 3,000 square-foot interior and a 3,500 square-foot patio both outfitted for live music. Before the area became a harbor for Cuban refugees, the bar “On the Trail” (Tamiami Trail) from the mid-1930s to late 1950s was a popular late-night stomping ground for many of the world’s most famous jazz musicians including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Count Basie, and Chet Baker. The retro jazz bar on Calle Ocho has just been reborn as a live music venue with an authentic Cuban flare and meticulously redecorated in iconic 1950s Miami style by new ownership Ben Bush, Zack Bush and Bill Fuller.
