The Trauma Club
Former Location –
The Trauma Club’s proprietor was Manny Rubin, who also ran The 2nd Fret on Sansom Street, considered one of Philadelphia’s leading folk clubs. The Trauma was a pretty small place, and was referred to as a psychedelic nightclub. It looked like a normal neighborhood bar when you first walked in and did not know that upstairs was a stage complete with an early light show.
