So. If for some reason you are unable to attend Cinco de Mayo this Saturday at Swanky’s (go HERE for Cinco’s music line-up)…like, maybe you’re out of the country…or you’re in the hospital and can’t find a way to sneak out from under those extremely attentive nurses…or…nope, that about covers it. If one of those two things affects YOU, then don’t worry. We still have a May Music Line-up to satisfy your LIVE music needs this month at Swanky’s.

Without further adieu, here is who will be playing at East Memphis (Poplar/Colonial) this month:

In just 10 days, each Swanky’s Taco Shop will be celebrating and partying hard for Cinco de Mayo. Are you ready?

For those that don’t know, Cinco de Mayo is observed in the US as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War. What better way is there to celebrate than to kick back, drink some margaritas and listen to some great live music? Tequila shots, you say? No problem. We’ll have those, too!

Here are a few things you can look forward to:

  • $2 Dos Equis Draughts
  • $4 House Margaritas
  • Cazadores Margaritas
  • Cazadores Tequila shots
  • Swanky’s Swag Giveaways
  • …and did we mention LIVE music?

WHAT live music, you ask? In Germantown, we’ll have The Plaintiffs Duo and Chris Hill. In Franklin, we’ll have Austin Biscotto, Carolina Story, Deep Fried Five & DJ G6 (inside from 12 to close). In East Memphis, we’ll have Charvey and WALRUS. Check back soon for specific times and a full music line-up!

So, join us next Saturday in Germantown, East Memphis or Franklin…or all three! Doors open at 11 am and we’ll be partying all day…and well into the night! Hope to see you there!
