Tits and Brass Benefit Show

Author Cameron   Filed under Music, Upcoming Shows   February 26, 2009  

This show is shaping up to be quite the lively live music event. We’re talking about a fiesta of jigging and dancing to the beats and brass of live music you can’t always get in front of. Not to mention mixing it up with some of the best burlesque dancing Seattle has to offer (they’re the Tit’s ‘n’ Brass peeps)
