Christabel and the Jons at Avondale Brewery

My favorite Tennessee swing band and my favorite craft beers are coming together for the first time on the night of May 12th! The Avondale Brewing Company opened for business towards the end of last year, and upstairs they have a beautiful 3,000 square foot WOODEN floor in a historically restored building with exposed brick walls and cool city views.

Solomon Douglas Swing Quartet @ the Birmingham VFW

Now here's a special one! Solomon Douglas is coming through Birmingham! As everyone knows, Solomon's a tough guy to get w/o a $100 ticket to an exchange or workshop. The opportunity to see him at a place like the VFW in Birmingham is a once a year thing! Solomon is a dancer, composer, and musician. He knows his stuff in ways most of us have yet to understand. He. Will. Do. You. Right!

Also, if you're new to dance, this is a fun place to get started. You can hit up the beginner lesson at 7 with the dancing starting at 7:30.
