SERUMN TRIO plays Dolly Fest

Museum of Human Achievement

MouthRadio presents Dolly Fest 2019, a performance and party dedicated to Our Lady of titties and rhinestones, Dolly Parton.

DOLLY fest kicks off at 8:00pm with a staged reading of a play titled: Songs for Drunk Cowboys Who May Also Be Women. An Anti-Musical. (For Fools, Only). This new play by Sarah Loucks follows wannabe country singer Cheyenne and her chihuahua, Dolly Parton, on a country music tour dripping in Dr. Pepper and heartbreak.

Following the staged reading is KILL JOLENE: A KARAOKE PLAY at 9:00pm. A Dolly Parton song cycle featuring the talents of 20 local Austin artists, KILL JOLENE: A KARAOKE PLAY explores Dolly’s discography through a variety of artistic mediums from dance to video to drag performance. Featuring performances by P1nkstar and Y2K.

The night will close out with a DJ set by Boi Orbison of Neon Rainbows: 90s Country Night.

Haiti Relief

Barracuda, 611 E 7th St, Austin

1.4 Million Haitians need urgent care! They are without homes, clean water, or much needed medical care. There is a cholera outbreak, and dozens of treatment centers were destroyed by the hurricane.

Let's raise some money for them and jam out to some incredible bands. Money Chicha, El Tule, Kalu and The Electric Joint and Continental Drift will be performing full sets, and Qi Dada Ras (from RIDERS AGAINST the STORM (RAS)) will be leading a Haitian folk dance troupe and giving a short talk on the beautiful people of Haiti.

This will be the first event in Continental Drift's "Pangaea Benefit Series," which will work with a different charitable organization for each event in an effort to spotlight a variety of non-profit organizations that are bringing focused, positive change to our planet.

There will also be Thai food served by Thai Fresh, local kombucha from Wunder-Pilz Kombucha, a silent auction, and a raffle. More details coming soon!
