What's that we see? Is that smoke in the distance? 🪵🔥

In the words of the Onyx Club Boys themselves, their music is "100% genuine. Curiously exotic, yet pleasantly familiar!". We could not have explained it better ourselves. The Onyx Club Boys is an acoustic string band rooted in Django Reinhardt's Gypsy Jazz sounds. Think 1930's Paris and Stuff Smith's NYC Swing. With their 21st century North Carolina influence, their music will take you on a trip around the world, with familiarity and musical ease. Be sure to catch them and all of our music line up LIVE this Saturday at Sonark Media! 🎷🎺

We hope to see you all there in just ONE week! 🍻🙌
