Green Onions & A Little Tenderness: Stax Night At Victory Grill
Doors open at 9 pm, and organizers have quite a litany of Stax-related activities for all partygoers. There will be Funky Chicken dance lessons, a "Stax Fax" trivia contest, Memphis soul food available for purchase, funky peepshow dancers (whatever that means), and Stax prizes for funkily dressed attendees. A fly soul wardrobe is encouraged, and to share the love of the evening, a portion of ticket sales goes to The Soulsville Foundation, which mentors Memphis youth and provides them with music education.
As for the tunes, headliners T-Bird and The Breaks are up-and-comers on the Austin Soul scene, and they've promised a set of Stax-only material for the entire night. T-Bird's material will include songs from Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, Isaac Hayes, Booker T. & The MG's, Rufus Thomas, Jean Knight, The Sweet Inspirations, and Eddie Floyd.
We can't imagine a better way to dance away your Friday night. Tickets will be available at the door, so hop in your pimped out 1972 Cadillac and head on over to the Victory tonight.
