Introducing Dart Music International (DMI), an Austin-based nonprofit organization that bridges the cultural divide by helping international musicians enrich the culture of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico.

Come out and celebrate our coming out! We'd love to meet you.

We plan to host a happy hour every month that will include musical guests and drink specials.

This month:
DJ Alan B and DJ Fred will be on hand spinning some great tunes featuring DMI artist members such as We Should Be Dead and Polly Mackey & the Pleasure Principle.

Drink specials will be available from local brewery Independence Brewing Company.

There will also be drawings for cool items and other surprises. Check our Facebook Event Page for updates.

See you there!
