BURLINGTON, IA - David and Dawn Hazell are proud to showcase the International tabla recording artist, SUPHALA, on May 17th at their new nightclub, "THE WASHINGTON", as part of Music and Menus, the Friends of Southeast Iowa Symphony spring fundraising program. "We felt like this would be a great chance for people to preview how far we've come on renovating the space and to raise money for the Symphony." said David Hazell. "We are also excited to bring such an interesting musical artist to a new audience. It should be something special for those who attend."

SUPHALA is a Minneapolis native, who now resides in New York and has played around the world. In 2005, she made history by being the first musician to perform in public in post-Taliban Kabul.
