Old Timey Tuesdays hosted by The Melancholy Babies
Old Timey Tuesdays comes to The Copper Room with The Melancholy Babies as hosts. The bill presents the night as an old-timey music evening; no additional performers, guest artists, tribute, record release, or special late set are named. It takes place at the Copper Room beside Yucca Valley Airport, where the calendar includes recurring old-timey music alongside jazz, blues and DJ nights. The room is a restaurant and cocktail lounge as well as a live-music venue, so dinner or a martini can be part of the plan.
The available billing identifies The Melancholy Babies as the hosts of Old Timey Tuesdays, but gives no further background on the act. It does not name the musicians in the group, their hometown, repertoire, previous collaborators, recordings, or reviews. What is clear is the setting: The Copper Room occupies a revived 1950s airport dinner house, with a restored dining room of wood paneling, stonework and copper details, broad windows toward the runway and high desert, and occasional small planes landing outside.
The Copper Room’s defining feature is its history as a 1950s airport dinner house, revived beside Yucca Valley Airport after years closed. Its restored dining room combines wood paneling, stonework and copper details, with broad windows facing the runway and high desert beyond. It is a restaurant and cocktail lounge as well as a place for live music, so an evening can include dinner or a martini alongside a set, with the occasional small plane landing outside. The calendar lists recurring jazz and blues evenings, old-timey music and DJ nights; many shows begin around 6 p.m. and run for three hours. The venue says events are free unless otherwise specified. You’ll find it at the airport in Yucca Valley, a High Desert town near Joshua Tree.
