As you may know, we’ve recently begun working closely with Madison’s newest venue, the Dragonfly Lounge. Located below the beautiful Bellini Italian Restaurant (401 E. Washington), Dragonfly has been a small space for private events since Bellini was converted from a church (built in 1897) into one of Madison’s finest Italian restaurants. Now, the space serves as an intimate venue, and Mine All Mine has partnered with Dragonfly to fill the space. So far, our winter series has shown that Madison is more than ready to support a new venue with friendly faces.
Read on below for videos and photos from our launch party (Pioneer, Pushmi-Pullyu, Ugly Brothers and Lovely Socialite), as well as live audio featured on WORT 89.9FM (Cap Alan, Golden Donna and Lovely Socialite). At the end, grab some info on booking with Mine All Mine at the Dragonfly Lounge, as well as our upcoming shows (see the sidebar to the right). Continue reading
