I have gone to this event twice in the past and I do not consider myself a fan of this style of music. But I had a great time meeting people, seeing friends and even dancing. Also, I found I like the music a lot more than I thought once I heard it live. It's a free event so if you are open to experience new styles and tastes, get out there and Be part of it.
