Austinist Show Preview: Harry Ransom Center Presents The American Twenties Music Series

Prohibition made America great. Because apparently, as you'll recall from your early college years, boozing when it's illegal is way more exciting. Out of the clandestine debauchery wrought by Prohibition, America found itself in the swingin' twenties. We're talking flapper dresses that were way too short and jazz that was way too good.

Tonight begins a series of local music happenings brought to you by the prestigious Harry Ransom Center as a part of their American Twenties exhibit (running through July 29th). Enjoy your post-work drinks on Congress at the Elephant Bar and enjoy jazz, the best thing to come out of America since Benjamin Franklin.
