A blowout dance party with an irresistible New Orleans style blues band. Come early: the night kicks off with a blues dance lesson by Brooklyn Swings. Stay late: more blues dancing music put on by our DJ after the band.
With a wide-mouthed, window-rattling sound that stacks up solidly alongside the great blues shouters like Big Maybelle and Big Mama Thornton, Lulu and the Broadsides double-dog dare you not to get out on the dance floor and move what the good Lord gave you. Lulu is the alter ego of singer-songwriter Dayna Kurtz. Kurtz already carved out a name for herself by amassing a repertoire of obscure soul and R&B gems, as well as originals that could have been unearthed from the same record hound’s favorite crypt — all caressed with the rich, rough and smoky vocals a reviewer once described as positively addictive. Her eclectic choices and compositions, mining rock ’n’ roll, blues and R&B, have more often than not shone the light on her talent for the low, slow burn, with trademark deep-pitched and honeyed vocals that smolder. The Broadsides, her estimable band—of New Orleans and New York all stars—serve up hot R&B the way it was made back in the 45 RPM era: smart, loose, and a little dirty.

*All tickets offer the same access to the event. Please buy at the highest price you can, to support artists, production and affordable tickets for everyone. For every patron ticket ($40) we add a low income ticket ($15).

We offer dance classes, education, and spaces for Black American Culture Dances such as Lindy Hop, Charleston, Balboa, and Blues Dancing. Out of respect and appreciation to those who founded & developed these spaces, Brooklyn Swings supports the goals & vision of Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ+ communities.
