Join the Dallas Historical Society for an evening of film, live music, food and dancing taking place on April 14, 2018, in the Texas landmark, The Hall of State in Fair Park. The history of Texas honky tonks and its music is rich and this is sure to be a historic evening of pure Texas entertainment.
The party will begin in the Margaret and Al Hill Lecture Hall with the documentary Honky Tonk Heaven - The Legend of the Broken Spoke, in partnership with Dallas Film Society, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers and the colorful Texas couple who have kept Broken Spoke open for more than 50 years. Then, the party will move upstairs to the Great Hall for a book signing of The Broken Spoke- Austin’s Legendary Honky Tonk by Donna Marie Miller. DVDs of the film will also be on hand to purchase.
The fun, local, Texas country band Eleven Hundred Springs will provide music live music for attendees listening and two-steppin’ pleasure. Broken Spoke inspired food and libations, including Lone Star Beer, will be served.
A special opportunity to meet the filmmakers, biographer, Broken Spoke proprietors and band members is available for VIP ticket holders and sponsors.
DHS Members Laura and Ken Capps are chairing the event. They have a very special history with the Broken Spoke as they were engaged on its stage 26 years ago!
