For East Village residents who venture around town for live music... 

A new music venue called Bleecker Bell is expected to open in September at 163 Bleecker St. in Greenwich Village. 

The 200-capacity club comes from the team behind Café Wha?, Groove and concert promoter Village Presents. According to the operators, it will be the first new music venue to open in Greenwich Village in nearly 20 years. 

Bleecker Bell plans to host performances by emerging and established artists spanning folk, Americana, jazz and rock. 

The venue will feature a full bar, table and banquette seating, a mezzanine overlooking the stage and a dedicated green room for performers. 

An opening date and initial lineup have not yet been announced.

    Any rock club with a green room is helpful.
