Take off those Ugg boots and put down that pumpkin spiced whatchamacallit that you’ve waited for this whole year; grab your dancing shoes and prepare yourself for a musically filled fall to remember. Sure, the autumnal weather may have taken a bit of pep out of your summer swagger, but that doesn’t mean we can’t keep the music turned all the way up to 11 until the winds change.
