Barnum Ballroom

03/16/2026

Barnum Ballroom was created for live music events — all types of music from all genres. The state of the art sound system was made with special care and purpose.

This venue needs music to bring it back to life. Birthday parties, line dancing, comedy nights, bingo… not Scott’s vision for weekends. If you want LIVE MUSIC BACK IN ISLAND PARK at BARNUM BALLROOM, call 516-548-7707 and ASK FOR LIVE MUSIC — we have dozens of requests each month from local to national bands asking if the venue has slots for live shows and it’s heartbreaking to know that Scott’s dream and his hard work has been discarded by “He Who Shall Not Be Named.”

“Comedy Nights” @ a state-of-the-art music venue? Little kids' birthday parties? Someone’s 50th? Grossly USELESS WASTE OF EVERYTHING was created for.
Mike you stole it.

With the deepest sadness, Stella says goodbye to our longtime friend and sound engineer Scott “Vid” Andreau. Everyone who knew Scott, loved him. He was a huge fan of the Dead, and all of music. He supported Stella Blue's Band for more than a decade in the rain and the sun and the cold and the wind. He was there first to set up and always the last to leave, hoofing the gear across fields, running the sound, dancing all the while and packing up after the lights were off, and everyone was gone.

If you didn’t know Scott, and you went to one of our shows, you probably loved him anyway because he was so talented and dedicated to his craft, always making the band sound bigger and better than it ever really was. In recent years, we were happy to play at his Barnum Ballroom, and proud that he'd finally gotten his own place to have it his way. (You can imagine: he did the sound up right there.)

We will miss you forever Scott and your sweet sounds and your humor and your spirit of “never say it can’t be done.” Cause you always did it. There isn't a dry eye in the NY jam band community. And there's a smile on every face when we think of you. You are gone way too early. We trust you are running the board in a better place, where the sound is just exactly perfect, feedback is banished to hell, and the angels lug the gear. Rest in peace.
