City Sonic.tv made a documentary with Serena, chronicling her early days as a singer. The Dakota Tavern is a honky-tonk basement bar in the middle of a burgeoning hipsterville where Serena first started out playing live and it's also featured in the documentary. In the below video, on a rare day off, Serena kicks back at the Dakota and explains how this hideaway has become a real community. Featuring special live performances with Serena, Dakota, houseband The Beauties and singer Damnhait Doyle.
