Boilermaker Jazz Band at Glen Echo - 5 12

Our favorite band from the 'Burgh will be back with us for another fun-filled night of hot jazz and swing! To quote The Washington Post, Whether you're looking for hot jazz, ragtime, boogie-woogie or dreamy ballads, The Boilermaker Jazz Band plays some of the best dance music you'll hear without cranking up a 78 RPM record player. The group's attention to detail and finely honed sound have made it a favorite of local Lindy Hoppers. Free drop-in beginner lesson by Flying Feet Enterprises at 8, and the music goes from 9 to midnight. $20, or youth/student discounted, or volunteering for an hour (ask Alvar) gets you in free.
