Music Lounge Powered by Swan Strings
Friday, Feb. 10 | Doors open at 7:00 p.m. | South Dallas Cultural Center
Dana Harper is guided by love as both an artist and individual. Reaching far beyond the confines of romantic love, the expressive songstress lives a life deeply rooted in true self love, love of community, and love of life itself. A Dallas-native, Harper’s music is about embracing and celebrating life’s universal experiences.
La Bell grew up with a love of singing, but struggled with the anxiety of performing at an early age. When she discovered rap at 19, she knew she had found her way to do what she loved while still being able to express herself.
This music lounge is in partnership with Jess Garland of Swan Strings Music Program, a 501c3 non-profit organization with a mission to provide free music education, community concerts and sound therapy services to North Texan individuals without access.
