Popular Music Venue To Close In Hamden

HAMDEN, CT — Hamden’s popular local music venue The Space is closing its doors with the final show scheduled for Friday night (Dec. 22). The Space’s owners made the announcement about the decision to close on its Facebook page.

In the post, the owners said that “as a family we are transitioning to a new phase of life, as our children get older and our family focus deepens, we are choosing a new path.”

The final show will be Carbon Based with See Me, For Me, Sad Pie and Fit To Fly. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. All remaining shows will be moved to The Space’s sister venue — The Ballroom at The Outer Space — and previously purchased tickets will be honored, according to The Space’s website. The Outer Space is located at 295 Treadwell Street in Hamden, directly across from The Space.

Finding the words for this post has not been easy, but we need to announce that our years of music, local bands, and open mics at The Space have come to a close. As a family we are transitioning to a new phase of life, as our children get older and our family focus deepens, we are choosing a new path. We remain deeply grateful to our employees, volunteers, customers and friends who have poured themselves out for The Space over the years. We opened The (original) Space to bring people together, give the local bands a place to grow and to build a community. We hope and pray that was accomplished. Endings are always hard, this is not easy for us, but we know the next step is a hopeful one. The Space will have its last show Friday, December 22nd.

Please continue to support The Outer Space as shows are transitioned over-there and most importantly, support local music.

with love and thanks,

Steve and Jesse Rodgers
