Experience Hot Brown Smackdown live on August 25th

Hot Brown Smackdown is scheduled to perform at the Spanish Ballroom At Elks Temple in Tacoma, Washington on August 25, 2026.

Their sound is characterized by tight grooves, dynamic arrangements, and a focus on live instrumentation.

The Spanish Ballroom At Elks Temple holds a significant place in Tacoma’s cultural history. Originally constructed in 1916 as a social and fraternal organization hall for the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks Lodge No. 72, the building quickly became a hub for community events. The ballroom itself, renowned for its sprung dance floor and ornate architectural details – including original chandeliers and decorative plasterwork – hosted numerous dances, concerts, and social gatherings throughout the mid-20th century. It experienced periods of decline but underwent restoration efforts in recent years to preserve its historic character while continuing to function as a performance venue. Today it continues to host a variety of musical acts and events.
