Then after you get your art fix, get your musical fix as well!
Last Thursday, as J.SOLE was away in Omaha sharing the Afro Funke' Sound, Atlanta's MIKE ZARIN and resident deejay GLENN RED took the controls and kept the dance floor steamin'!! Much love to our beautiful family old and new for blessing the place with their energetic vibes and lifting the roof all night!
April continues to heat up this week as we are honored to present a very special DJ set by prolific, british multi-instrumentalist NOSTALGIA 77 - featuring the deep sounds that have become favorites of the underground jazz and funk scene worldwide! AND if that weren't enough, definitely come by to help celebrate the birthday of Afro Funke’ Resident DJ & Co-Founder, JEREMY SOLE!! This will be a big one, people!
