Info
My Father's Place was a music venue in Roslyn, New York that first opened in 1971, and in the words of The New York Times, “created a scene that would influence music for decades to come.”In the eighteen years the club was open before it closed in 1987, My Father’s Place presented more than 6,000 shows from over 3,000 diverse artists. Its owner Michael “Eppy" Epstein refused to book cover bands, and so the club became known as place aspiring artists could perform. Young unknown musicians such as Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Aerosmith, the Police, Tom Petty, as well as hopeful comics Billy Crystal, Eddie Murphy, and Andy Kaufman, and a host of others graced the stage. In the late spring of 2018 Epstein will reopen the club in a new location not far from the original venue, in the newly renovated Roslyn Hotel.
