  This Friday at dancing:
Live Music with Homegrown!
John DJs, Mark assists. |
Join us for a lively evening that will include live music as Homegrown plays two sets of international music. Homegrown is truly homegrown,  made up of Austin musicians who have been playing together for many years - Anne Alexander, Norris Foster Harrell, Holly Plotner, Joane Rylander, Franklin Houston, and Dena Houston. Come spin, twirl, and hop to their music and be a part of the dance excitement that is AIFD. Our DJ this week will be John Scales. John will be assisted by Mark Edwards. |
