Citizen Swing — Connor Law + Kelle Jolly
March 13 @ 6:00 pm
Join us for Citizen Swing, our twice-monthly Wednesday jazz nights. Come through for a night of excellent, curated local jazz talent and classic cocktails. The fun starts at 6pm when we spin up some cool, old jazz vinyl, and then continues at 7pm with live sets by Connor Law and Kelle Jolly. Free!
