Damany, Author at I Live In Dallas - Page 2 of 2

Damany hails from Brooklyn and merges all the style of the big city with the charm, warmth, and humour (yes, with a “u”- he secretly wants to be British) of one of your best friends. Five years ago, he made the long treck to Dallas and hasn't regretted it once (well, except in August). A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away (named Tulsa), Damany realized his love for culture, events, and theater. When he finally made his way to the cities of cowboys, culture, and way too many restaurants, he was introduced to I Live in Dallas and culture loving angels started to sing. Every day gives him an opportunity to experience the greatest that Dallas has to offer and to share it with his friends, new and old. When he’s not dancing or producing events or nerding out over tech and marketing blogs, Damany’s indulging in his love for great food, delicious brews, and scintillating conversation . Damany is also an active board member of the International Special Events Society, The Society of Young Philanthropists, Wish Upon a Wedding, and is actively involved in mentoring within his community.

“Mama” Brings Down the House

Every Monday, Lower Greenville is home to some of the best and brightest musical talent in the city of Dallas; but it’s not coming from one of the countless bars that line its streets, and the songs aren’t sung by some indie, pop-rock, jam band. No- these songs are sung by a group that the Dallas Observer has called the “Best Belters” in the city. This is Mama’s Party.
