Memorial Day Weekend DJ Jam – Fri May 27th
This Memorial Day weekend, we will feature DJ’s Natalie Eringros and Elizabeth Glavin. Elizabeth makes her Boston Swing Central DJ debut!
Elizabeth has been sharing her love for early jazz since 2015 as a DJ at dances, exchanges, and events throughout the Southeast. She’s thrilled to be bringing that love up north! A floor in her care can expect to enjoy a wide variety of swing-era recordings from her collection alongside tunes from some of today’s top musicians- and probably at least one killer scat solo.
Natalie is familiar fixture on the BSC dance floor! She’s a high-energy dancer and DJ, and also a Boston Swing Central board member and president!
