The NYE edition of Jump Jack Sounds Machine, North Mississippi’s lively new dance night, is going to be a wonderful treat. Led by star-powered Chanticleer Trü, Chanti Darling (Best New Band 2016) along with electronic producer/vocalist Natasha Kmeto will ring in 2017 like no one else in town: with a modern brand of disco-soul, fabulously flamboyant backup dancers, and a vibrant, infectious energy. In addition to the headlining act, there are four DJs on the ticket who will get you moving; sounds will focus on vocal melodies, spinning at the intersection of disco, house, break, and tech—all the genres that have defined dance the most. The super-inclusive dance night, hosted by local drag queen Shitney Houston, will also feature a photo booth with snaps by Eric Sellers. Probably best to get those head shots in before the night gets too crackin’, since, as always, sweating is encouraged. JENNI MOORE
