The Resident Series

Where The Encore Lives

The Encore is a venue without fixed walls — but the resident series has two seasonal homes in the Pittsburgh region.

Winter · Spring

The Encore at Elks Lodge #339

DECEMBER THROUGH MAY · NORTH SIDE, PITTSBURGH

Elks Lodge #339 is the indoor home of Jazzmania Live's Winter and Spring Encore series, located on Pittsburgh's North Side just north of the Allegheny River. Shows here are held in a classic lodge room with a full bar, table seating, and the kind of warm acoustics that suit a working jazz ensemble.

Eleven shows this season — every other Saturday from December through mid-May — make this the most consistent live jazz residency in the city. Doors open before 7:00 PM, the band plays from 7:00 to roughly 10:00 PM, and the room is full almost every night.

Summer

The Encore at The Cascades, South Park

JUNE THROUGH SEPTEMBER · SOUTH PARK, ALLEGHENY COUNTY

The Cascades at Stone Manse is the outdoor pavilion that serves as the summer home of Jazzmania Live's Encore series, set inside Allegheny County's South Park. The actual cascading waterfalls that give Stone Manse its name run alongside the pavilion — open lawn, mature trees, the sound of moving water, and a covered stage behind the band.

Summer shows are open-air, family-friendly, and free to attend. No tickets, no reservations, no cover. Bring a folding chair, a blanket, snacks, and the kids. Dogs on leash are welcome on the lawn. Shows run from late afternoon to early evening, timed to the light.

Beyond the Resident Series

The Pop-Up Series

Beyond the resident series, The Encore brings live jazz into cafés, galleries, breweries, community halls, and outdoor courtyards across the Pittsburgh region — particularly spaces that serve communities with limited access to live music. Pop-up venues are announced as the season unfolds.
