About LowDown

LowDown is Tulsa's premier jazz club - located in the basement of the historic Archer Building at 108 N Detroit Avenue in the heart of the Tulsa Arts District. This contemporary live music venue and cocktail bar opened as the evolution of the beloved Duet Jazz Club - bringing world-class jazz programming to downtown Tulsa in an intimate speakeasy-style setting.

Music and Performance Programming

The venue hosts an impressive range of musical performances throughout the week - with shows typically Thursday through Saturday evenings.
