Support Live Music

I love going out to non-dance venues to hear my favorite musicians. I get to hear the variety of music they're able to play. In addition, because we ask our bands to keep the song length down to about 4 minutes for dances, we don't often get to hear them really get that jam going strong -- where songs can last a good 15-20 minutes -- it is amazing.

So, please do get out and about to hear these musicians play eveything from latin jazz to country swing, and everything in between!
