Weekend Happenings: February 19 – 21

by Josie on February 19, 2010

Friday February 19, 2010

The Scat Jazz Lounge
The Texas Gypsies 9PM
The Texas Gypsies give Parisian style jazz a Texas twist. From the bands Facebook event page:

Imagine this: you’re in a quaint Parisian cafe listening to a delightful acoustic jazz combo. The air is filled with songs, some familiar, some exotic and intriguing. You’re caught up in the music as lightning-fast guitar runs dart in and out of beautiful violin melodies. The rhythm guitarist is strumming his guitar with fiery abandon while the bassist slaps a rhythm that your feet cant resist. Throw in some Texas flair and you have the Texas Gypsies making a return visit to Scat.

Make a night of it with a visit to Simply Fondue before the show. Scat Jazz Lounge is at 111 West 4th Street
Fort Worth, TX 76102
