"The water of the Gulf stretched out before her, gleaming with the million lights of the sun. The voice of the sea is seductive, never ceasing, whispering, clamoring, murmuring, inviting the soul to wander in abysses of solitude" (Kate Chopin- The Awakening)

We invite you to see our irresistable selection of artists, musicians and Dj's at The Green Room for free this late January eve.
