Thursday, June 2nd?Glovertango performs the passionate and captivating traditional music of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Drawing on arrangements from the Golden Age of Tango, the group combines faithful renditions of early 20th century tangos, milongas, and waltzes with original compositions in the classic style.

The foremost provocateur of tango in Austin, Texas, Glover Johns Gill leads the group on accordion and bandone?n. Accompanying him is Justin Sherburn on piano and Chris Maresh on bass.

This is an 18 & up club. The younger crowd filters in around 11:30pm and the music shifts from predominantly salsa y merengue to Latin pop. Some salseros prefer this club over Copa on Thursday nights, but they do get there early to take advantage of more dance space. Be forewarned: if you are looking for a casual, more mature salsero crowd and more room to dance into the late hours, this is probably not the best venue for you.
