With some breezy stories and fall in the air, its a swinging Sunday jam party at Dizzy's.

 

Ms. Winer said: “Fall is about fresh possibilities and also about gathering together in the warmth of community, great music, and joy.  We're grateful that every other month, our Songbook Sundays at Dizzy's has become that go-to, fun place to revel in all these things.”
