One of my fav catering companies and some of my favorite people in the world are hosting a pop-up speakeasy tonight at a secret location. They hit me up about a week ago asking me if I could provide the soundtrack for the night and I immediately thought, “sign a girl up!” Almost instantly music begin to play in my head. Jazz is perfect for this. I put a 3 hour playlist together featuring some cool dixieland jazz which would go right along with the speakeasy theme.
