In our conversation with venue owners Janell and Santos Martinez, we cover the transformative power of open mics, the audacity to be genuine, and converting the economic woes of a worldwide pandemic into a dream-made-real.
With good humor and a kind of genuine humility, Janell and Santos guide us from the death of normalcy through trials and tribulations to the of creation the Deco District gem, Dulce Sueños - so much more than your friendly neighborhood coffee house.
