Club Fugazi has a long and storied history as the site of breakthroughs in local, national, and international culture. Originally built as a gift to the Italian community of North Beach, it was a home to visiting artists, orators, politicians, and cultural innovators from the time it opened in 1914. In the '50s and '60s the club hosted poetry readings by Beat poets including Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Allen Ginsberg. Thelonius Monk recorded Alone in San Francisco here in 1959! In 1967, Warner Brothers hosted the first album release party for a new band on their label – the Grateful Dead. Much like San Francisco itself, Club Fugazi has always been a place to connect with the “next.” The 7 Fingers, one of the world’s leading contemporary circus arts companies, has created the current show taking up residence in this storied hall.
