East Dallas-based singer and songwriter Jill Allison Bryan will host the event — Bryan’s “Dancing in Limbo” CD release party coupled with an art auction featuring 13 local female artists — to benefit Women for Women International, an organization that helps women in war-torn countries rebuild their lives.
