Long dormant dancehall to reopen
Sengelmann Hall in Schulenburg, about an hour and 20 minutes east of Austin, is reopening after 60 years with a bang. Owner Dana Harper and talent booker Steve Dean kick things off with Junior Brown on June 5 and the Derailers the next night. Jason Boland and James Hand play the following weekend, with Cory Morrow, Czech Melody Masters, White Ghost Shivers, Earl Poole Ball, Cloverleaf Orchestra, Billy Mata and more in the coming weeks.
The Hall will also include a German/ Czech restaurant on the ground floor, with the upstairs dancehall overlooking a beer garden.
Here’s an interesting history of Schulenburg, one of those cool old German towns perfect for Austin daytrippers.
