We had the good fortune of connecting with Jack Stevenson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jack, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
When I started the “2 Man Happy Hour” site my goal was to fill a void in our community after the pandemic. More specifically the local paper stopped posting where all the live music was in town.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My day job is a “Behavioral Health Consultant”. My night job is as a musician 42 years.

The “2 Man Happy Hour” is a 100% free weekly list/podcast/website of all the area’s live music events. I maintain these as a service to the community to help support the musicians & venues that feature live music, AND the citizens that are interested in attending live music events.

I do this out of my pocket. It cost musicians, venues & fans nothing to use the site @ 2manhappyhour.com.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Just look the the .pdf list on the website www.2manhappyhour.com
