TONIGHT !!! $10 for Students !!! "The Spirit Of The Blues" brings together the deep roots of traditional blues, the sophistication of jazz, along with the groove and soul of R&B and Gospel music. At the heart of the project are powerful vocals and the classic sound of the Hammond B3 Organ trio.

"The Spirit of The Blues " is not simply a recreation of these traditions. It is a conversation that comes together as one sound through the language of improvisation, dynamics, and storytelling.

TONIGHT !!! HEY STUDENTS: $10 w/ ID at the Door! !!! ElectroLounge transforms Red Light Café into VAMPIRE RAVE: an electronic music variety show for creatures of the night with excellent taste and questionable sleep schedules.

Expect burlesque, aerial, fire, go-go, sh***ri, games, and more, set to a pulsing EDM soundtrack by DJ Conflux. Hosted by Ivana Coquêtú, this is where gothic glamour meets dance-floor chaos.

Come dressed as a velvet-draped vampire, a leather-clad nightcrawler, a glittering bloodsucker, or someone who’s been emotionally unavailable since 1897. Fangs, capes, and dramatic eyeliner encouraged; costumes optional.

ElectroLounge is Atlanta nightlife for the curious, creative, and delightfully unusual. Come for the spectacle. Stay for the music. Ask before you bite.
