Friday Night Live!
Oct.11 | The Buckaroosters
It’s always a right fine party when these hard-swingin’ groove slingers take the stage, warming the Juke Joint with their neighborly vibe while playing the tunes of the ever-danceable Buck Owens. All in friendly, vibrant community with beautiful people and great dancers! Eagles Mother Aerie (8201 Lake City Way NE), dance lesson (TBA) 6:30pm, dancing 7:30-10pm.
