Sedona, AZ: Dancers wipe the dust off those dance shoes and get ready! Nightlife Sedona presents its second “Dancing in the Moonlight” event featuring West Coast Swing. The ever-popular Midnite Blues Band from Phoenix will bring their toe tapping repertoire of the best dance songs that West Coast Swing stylists demand on Saturday, October 25, at Relics Restaurant and Nightclub in West Sedona from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. This is an exciting event for both locals and tourists alike since these kinds of dance parties are hard to find in the area.
Jimmy Peyton’s Midnite Blues has performed in the Southwest for the past 30 years for events such as the Phoenix Suns half time at the America West Arena, various jazz and blues festivals around the state of Arizona, and Alice Coopers Town Concert Series: Blues For the City. The band was the house band at the 26th Street Blues Club in Phoenix for most of the past three years.
Midnite Blues is well known to the West Coast Swing Dancing crowd in Arizona and always draws a great audience. Tears were shed at their last performance at the 26th Street Blues as regular patrons bid farewell to the band following their long run at the establishment. The group was also inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of fame in 1997. What a great treat to the Sedona area and well worth the ticket price.

Relics Restaurant and Nightclub sports a sizeable, wooden floor conducive to dance that no one else in town has to offer. The sound system and lighting create a stage and sound that beckon to the audience to get up and let that inner Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers out! The lovely décor featuring an ample display of unique antiques, many for sale, is warm and comfortable. Those who desire dinner along with dancing have a varied menu to choose from ranging from generous salads and fresh seafood to barbequed chicken, succulent pork ribs and Relics’ signature prime rib. There is a spacious outdoor patio with a fireplace to catch your breath, see the stars and enjoy a cocktail, and a full separate bar inside for those who would like to relax a little before the big event.
