Dance The Night Away
Party with Pittsburgh’s own Mia Z. The local singer/songwriter went national when she made the top 12 on The Voice in 2015. Her new single “Drive” is an irresistibly funky and fresh emotive take on The Cars’ classic ‘80s hit. You can also catch DJ Soy Sos spinning the jams.

Eons Fashion Antique owner Richard Parsakian will provide the night’s decor and fashions for the “cocktail girls,” and Izzazu Salons & Haircare Products will be on hand featuring cocktail inspired hair and makeup design.
