The Continental Club has a big celebration planned, making up for the two anniversary parties it had to skip because of COVID. ContClubHouston
Five years after The Continental Club opened, before they acquired the spacious backyard, Gordon began cleaning out what is now Shoeshine Charley’s Big Top Lounge with the hope of creating a smaller stage to showcase local acts.
“It’s inviting and it’s fun,” says Hill who curates the small funky room named after an actual shoeshine man and friend of Gordon’s who planned on being a part of the club before he passed away. “I can book anything from a solo singer songwriter and make it a listening room to having a punk band. That room can be anything.”
“The fact that Ronnie Wood finished a Rolling Stones show and came to the Continental Club, that is the epitome of it and of how cool it is,” says Hill. For 22 years The Continental Club has hosted many weekly events and residencies such as bingo nights in the early years to Tango Mondays, Beetle Thursdays Allen Oldies every New Year and the Disco Expressions commemorating holidays throughout the year.
“Steve Wertheimer in Austin has always done a good job of fostering talent. He sees something he likes and he really goes out of his way to help them get a good start and I've always taken that as an example,” says Gordon.
