This Sunday, join Jus’ B, guest DJ Don French and me, Liz O., at Grand Star Jazz Club for Disco Matinee. We’ll be playing disco, funk, dance-punk and more from 3 p.m. until 7 p.m. Tickets are $6.50 if you click this link and buy them on Restless Nites now. They’ll be $8 at the door.
The Grand Star is located at 943 N. Broadway, inside Chinatown’s Central Plaza, next to the Bruce Lee statue. It’s a 21+ venue. There is street and lot parking in the neighborhood, but you can also take Metro’s A Line to the Chinatown stop, which will drop you off right across Broadway from The Grand Star. See you on the dance floor.
