This Friday, December 4th, JookJoint Shimmy Blues is having its end of the year holiday party at Dancesport Studios. It will be the first holiday party of the season! Please do come out and help us end the year with a bang! Our holiday band is the SaRon Crenshaw Blues Band. Bandleader, SaRon Crenshaw, is an amazing blues guitarist and is sure to please. He plays blues at a variety of tempos which should allow the lindyhopper in you the opportunity to flourish and completely satisfy the blues dancer in you! SaRon is often billed as a bluesman with a soul twist.
