The Sunset Terrace is a legendary Indiana Avenue nightclub opened by Denver Ferguson in 1938. This week we’ll celebrate Christmas at the Sunset Terrace, by listening to classic holiday music from artists who performed at the club. Denver Ferguson, and his brother Sea, were prominent figures in the Avenue neighborhood. Today, the Ferguson brothers are best remembered for their work in music.
