All ages welcome
Honky Tony Basement Bio:
Honky Tonk Basement (aka) James Jones promotes country dancing shows and classes around the Portland area with BootscootPDX, a Portland-based two-step experience that creates engaging, dance-driven nights that get first-timers out on the dance floor and into the world of dancing!
Shorty and The Mustangs Bio: Shorty & the Mustangs play a mix of western swing, honky tonk and roots country music. Lara Carlisle’s heart felt singing can get folks out on the dance floor with a Patsy Cline torch song or a Gram Parsons rocker. Ken Woodside and Phil Hornik, on drums and bass, lay down a strong dance beat while Mike Moore on guitar, and Mitch ‘Big Tex’ Gilbert on steel guitar put in the twang and tears. Marilee Hord sings beautiful duets with Lara and plays the heck out of the fiddle.
Event Description: Dust off your boots and get ready for a night of dancing, music, and good times! Kick off the evening with a Two-Step dance lesson led by the talented instructors from Honky Tonk Basement. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to polish your moves, you’ll learn the fundamentals and gain the confidence to hit the dance floor. Then, put your new skills to the test as Shorty and the Mustangs take the stage with an energetic set of dance-worthy tunes. Grab a partner, make some new friends, and spend the rest of the night two-stepping, spinning, and dancing along to live music. Food and beverages available for purchase.
