MTI’s Emmy-nominated documentary The Bayou: DC’s Killer Joint is now streaming
We are proud and delighted to announce that MTI’s Emmy-nominated documentary The Bayou: DC’s Killer Joint is now streaming on the free PBS App. The show is also airing on WETA in the D.C. area.
Bruce Springsteen Surprise Visit
Bruce Springsteen made a surprise visit to the club to jam with friends. Many such stories are in the documentary.
Fourteen years in the making, The Bayou traces the 45-year history of a legendary D.C. nightclub, showcasing its evolution from jazz and Dixieland to rock and punk. Hosting icons like Coleman Hawkins, Count Basie, and later acts like Kiss, the Runaways, Dire Straits, and U2, the Bayou became a hub for music, mischief, and cultural change.
Both Mickey Mantle and Robert Plant were kicked out of the club (in separate decades). Star Wars creator George Lucas threatened club lighting director Tim Pace with a lawsuit. The film is told by the people who were there and was directed by MTI founder Dave Lilling, earning an Emmy nomination.
