2nd Annual USO Big Band Bash! 7:00PM @ Lane Motor Museum - Saturday, November 12th, 2016
This November Shindig Mafia hosts the 2nd Annual USO Big Band Bash, transporting you to one of America's most iconic eras. Show off your best World War II attire while you dance among 170 historic automobiles to the brassy sound of The Willies. In the spirit of the era all ticket sales will be supporting the mission of the USO locally, including a silent auction. The USO’s support of the families and morale of active duty US soldiers has always been synonymous with the legacy of the 1940s. Let’s make history together.
Speakeasy Masquerade 7:00PM @ Amari - Saturday, October 29th, 2016
Underneath the mask, you can be whoever you wish. Therein lies the allure of any clandestine affair. Shindig Mafia invites you to Speakeasy Masquerade, to dine and to indulge in crafty concoctions that just may reveal your true identity.
Much to our anticipation, Brotha Ric returns to the stage, literally taking one-man blues to a whole new level. Once he kicks off the set, you won't be able to sit still the rest of the night, of that much we can assure you.
This is the Halloween soirée socialites wait for all year, and if you can make it past the hidden entrance you'll see why.
Speak 7:00PM @ Skull's Rainbow Room - Sunday, February 28th, 2016
Make your way down shadowy Printer’s Alley and experience a night of fine dining, craft cocktails, live music, blues dancing, and burlesque.
We are honored to have the talented Brotha Rick back for Shindig Mafia’s second SPEAKEASY BLUES! All of you who came last year know exactly why we HAD to have him back. Put on your fringe and pearls, your suit and tie, because we're taking it down low and slow, backed by the growling sounds of authentic Alabama blues.
