The Shindig Mafia invites you to the only Prohibition-Era themed New Year's Eve party in Nashville, held at the Standard Club in the historic 1840s Smith House!  It doesn’t get more original Nashville than this.

Beneath the gilded chandeliers of The Standard’s grand ballroom, you’ve been invited to welcome the New Year in roaring fashion. Elegance and revelry go hand-in-hand as this magnificent 1840’s townhome sets the stage for a night of champagne, live music, and dancing.

For your entertainment, we offer you The Willies, veterans of the American underground and the embodiment of the rough and tumble legacy of 1920's swing and blues.

For your pleasure, and included in the price of the ticket, champagne flows freely until midnight and is paired with heavy hors d'oeuvres selected by The Standard's head chef.

And for kicks, join us at 8:00pm on the dance floor to learn original jazz moves created by swing royalty and which propelled the decadent and rebellious socialites of the roaring 1920’s.
