No biographical material or search result is provided for Ethan Eubanks’ Earlytymes Jazz Band, so there is no reliable information here about the group’s origins, members, musical approach, recordings, collaborators or critical reception. The available listing presents this simply as a jazz booking at Hometown Bar-B-Que, part of the venue’s program of live music alongside its Texas-style smoked meats and drinks.
Wood smoke, craft beers, and Texas-style pit barbecue establish this sprawling industrial smokehouse along the Red Hook waterfront as a lively social hub rather than a hushed listening room. Patrons queue up for counter service: ordering smoked brisket, pulled pork, and draft pours before claiming open seating at wooden communal tables and outdoor benches on a first-come, first-served basis. The converted warehouse layout features exposed brick, high ceilings, two bars, and a raised stage tucked into the corner of the secondary dining hall. Weekend evenings bring free live roots, blues, and jazz sets that fill the room with sound while diners eat, drink, and chat. With no advance ticketing or reservations, early arrival helps secure a table and guarantees food before the day’s smoked meats sell out.
