There’s something deeply charming about Ryan Tennis and the Tennis Family Clubhouse.
An unassuming three-bedroom row home in the Hawthorne neighborhood of
South Philly has been hosting some killer house parties for almost eight
years now.

The house’s shows, curated and hosted primarily by Ryan, are a family
affair. His family owns the home. His brother, Bronson, played bass for
the scorching-hot Caribbean-flavored band, El Caribefunk,
which slayed a month-long residency at the Clubhouse in 2015. Gary, the
youngest, sang in an a cappella group in college. An older sister sings
in a band in Portland, Oregon. And cousin Johanna Austin sometimes
sings with Clubhouse bands and runs a successful photography enterprise. There’s a lot of Tennis talent in and out of that house, and it used to be even more chaotic.
