Winnipeg might not be Harlem in the 1920s, but we're rolling back the rugs and inviting the whole Winnipeg neighborhood to join us for dig! magazine's first annual Rent Party on Sunday, December 6 at the Park Theatre, 698 Osborne.

The party kicks off at 7:30 pm with the high octane sounds of the U of M Jazz Studies faculty—Steve and Anna-Lisa Kirby, Larry Roy, Jimmy Greene, George Colligan, and friends. The second set will feature the Retro Rhythm Review, a band of younger musicians who bring some sass to tunes from the last three decades or so.

A rent party pays the proverbial landlord, but more than anything, it’s an excuse to be in the company of friends—and to let music renew our spirits and our community. See you there!
