Austin TX Community Drum Circle April 17th
X8 DRUMS, SWAN PERCUSSION and VORTEX Repertory Company invite you to the "Austin Community Drum Circle."
X8 Drums, VORTEX Repertory Company and Swan Percussion invite you to drum in the first day of Spring at the Austin Community Drum Circle on Wednesday, April 17th. In addition to the music, we'll be raffling off musical prizes to those in attendance.
Spend some time feeling the rhythm and invest yourself in the interactive experience of an evening drum circle around a bonfire right in East Austin. Coordinated by the staff members of Austin's own hand drum shop X8 Drums & Percussion and facilitated by X8 Drums endorsed artist Kenya Masala, this drum circle will be a fun and relaxing community event.
Any type of instrument is welcome, so be sure to bring anything from your didgeridoo to your conga. X8 Drums will also supply djembe drums and percussion instruments to those without an instrument. All ages welcome and The Butterfly Bar @ The VORTEX will be open serving drinks and cocktails.
