The Listening Room by Studio Park is set to open in November. The 200-seat facility will be featuring local, national and even internationally known acts.

The new Studio Park complex downtown keeps chugging its way toward completion, and one of the new facilities will be a concert venue called The Listening Room.

This week, on their web site, listeningroomgr.com, the new, intimate theater announced its first shows, starting in November. Tickets for all shows are also available at that site.

Here is a list of scheduled performances:

After a soft opening in October featuring local bands, the venue will officially open November 6 with David Wax Museum, a folk and roots rock band that combines Mexican Son Music with Americana for an interesting blend.
