DCLX is proud to present the Josh Fialkoff Quintet! Josh Fialkoff, has been delighting dancers up and down the east coast. The featured band for Philadelphia’s Lindy & Blues – “LaB Love” – in January, he has come into his own mixing traditional jazz with some smoky blues. Lindy Hoppers will delight in his creative arrangements and engaging interplay.

And feel free to come to the dance with your spookiest costume.  Because Halloween is close enough.

Update (24 Oct):  Right before the dance, from 6pm-9pm, the GEPPAC is hosting a happy hour that will serve as a fundraiser for their “Shutdown Relief Fund.”  A lot of artists lost a lot of business (and $$$) during the government shutdown and Glen Echo is trying to do something about it.

Kind of like public radio, a thank you gift for donating $30 will be a pass to the dance later that night with Josh Fialkoff!  You can donate more, schmooze with friends and GEPPAC staff.  DC’s own John Mortenson will be your DJ as you enjoy wine and snacks.  In addition, there will be several free activities that night.  Check out Glen Echo’s web page for more info.

Also note that Glen Echo’s annual Fall Frolic will be happening earlier in the day.  For more info check out their website.

Date:  Saturday, October 26, 2013.  Enjoy a beginner swing dance lesson at 8:00 pm (included in the admission), followed by dancing until midnight.
