The Recipe & Company at The Blind Swine
July 5, 2019 @ 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Shhhh… The Blind Swine is open; remember to “speak easy.” The museum’s raw space, once used as a garage, will be open for an authentic 1920s era speakeasy experience again this summer.
The Prohibition movement was coined “the noble experiment,” yet many considered it a failure. There is no doubt the thirteen-year exercise played a role in breaking down social barriers. The exciting new sounds of jazz added to the club scene where dancing and drinking were all the rage. On July 5th, The Blind Swine welcomes musical guests, The Recipe & Company which includes, Markius Anthony, Brett Dougherty, and Lukas Keil. These cool, homegrown musicians bring hot jazz that would make any prohibition speakeasy proud. Be ready to cut a rug!
