Twang has a minority interest in most of these mixes, but that could change soon. DJ Jett, Shellac Shack’s go-to gal when Chas Gaudi can’t host it, is scouting for an East Bay or SF venue that needs an all-vinyl country night. Get in touch with HWS if you have a place in mind.

Friday night jump is the best place to be if you desire some good dancing. Jay N Bee’s has a great atmosphere, and are very welcoming. All four DJs have great music, and take requests. Different styles of dance are all done, with no elitism, no matter how new you are. ECS and Jivers dance with each other, and it doesn’t matter what style you prefer, it’s welcome. If you are female, you will be asked to dance so be prepared!
