One of Washington’s longest running jazz clubs might be leaving its Georgetown home, marking the latest pandemic-era loss for the city’s music scene.

Blues Alley has occupied the same space — a 125-person venue in an unassuming alley off Wisconsin Avenue — since 1965. Despite its small size, “the house that Dizzy built” has hosted great jazz performers like Charlie Byrd, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis and Eva Cassidy over the years. It’s a landmark in D.C.’s storied jazz community.

The building’s owner, Snyder Properties, has put the building up for sale, according to NBC4. The owner told NBC4 that she repeatedly tried to renegotiate the lease with club owner Harry Schnipper, but those negotiations were unsuccessful. Snyder Properties did not immediately return a request for comment.

Schnipper confirmed that he is looking for a new space to DCist/WAMU.

Like most venues in the region, Blues Alley ceased hosting live performances in the middle of last March due to the coronavirus pandemic. Over the past 11 months it has pulled in some revenue from tickets sales for live-streamed performances from the National Press Club, a staff GoFundMe campaign and merchandise sales.

The pandemic has dealt a staggering blow to independent music venues, bars and restaurants that once hosted shows. A pilot program that would have allowed a half dozen venues to host live entertainment launched in late September but was halted in the winter amid an increase in COVID-19 cases.  No D.C. venues are allowed to host live entertainment right now, per the latest reopening guidelines from the city.

The D.C. government began offering relief grants in December to businesses in the entertainment industry, including $20 million for venues that have struggled during the pandemic.
