Johnny D's Restaurant & Music Club is named for John DeLellis. Born and raised in Somerville, Johnny D served 13 years as a Somerville police officer before he and his wife, Tina, purchased the Uptown Café back in 1969. During the 70s and early 80s we showcased the area's top country-western performers. Some may remember the good old red and black vinyl booths and everyone's favorite bartender, Uncle Louie.
In the mid 80s, son David and daughter Carla expanded the club's booking policies and we now present everything from blues to Bulgarian wedding music, bagpipes to bongos.
Johnny D and David have since passed away, but Tina and Carla, with the help of a great staff and many talented musicians, lead the way. The result has been national recognition, including the coveted W.C. Handy "Keeping the Blues Alive" Club of the Year, awarded by the Blues Foundation in Memphis, Tennessee, as well as several Best of Boston awards. We are very grateful to have a team that allows us to consistently receive such accolades.
