JAZZ NIGHT at the GOLDEN ROAD
Every Monday night // House Band - 7:00 // Open Session - 8:00 - 10:00
Jazz Night at the Golden road is a reoccurring residency and jam session in Toledo, OH.
This jam session began in 2021 at the Ottawa Tavern with Brad Billmaier serving as bandleader alongside Will Schneider, Zakk Jones and Dylan Bretz. The band rotated musicians thrughout the first few years but remained stabily with Billmaier and Schneider effectively co-running the event.
After the Ottawa Tavern shut down in late 2024 during a change in management, the session relocated to the Golden Road where Billmaier and Schneider joined by University of Toledo faculty Norm Damshroder and Jay Weik forming the house band that continues to perform and host the weekly event.
