The New Penelope was a legendary, much-beloved concert venue in Montréal, open for just a few years in the 1960s. Club owner Gary Eisenkraft presented important blues, rock, folk and jazz musicians, including Muddy Waters, Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell and Jesse Winchester. The New Penelope was a lynchpin for Montréal’s emerging counterculture and arts scene.
