Episode 242: Disco Dining Club & Miwi La Lupa

Tune in for a brand new episode of Snacky Tunes as Darin Bresnitz is in conversation with Courtney Nichols, co-founder of Disco Dining Club. Disco Dining Club is a bi-monthly culinary excursion steeped in all the excess, debauchery & hedonism of disco. Each dinner features cuisine from a renowned chef, unlimited oysters, an open bar provided by local microbreweries, wineries and distilleries, an all-vinyl disco DJ set, a live performance, multiple, thematic installations, and an invite-only crowd of cultural tastemakers – all donning decadent attire while partaking in a night of disco escapades. It is the intent of Disco Dining Club to take the warehouse scene out of the underground and into the dining room that asks but one thing of guests: to consume everything.

In the second half of the show, Greg Bresnitz is in studio with Miwi La Lupa. Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist from Buffalo, NY now living in New York City, Miwi is a graduate of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY and is an original member of New York bands Red Baraat, Thought, and Knights on Earth.
