Description:

This will be huge… last year 1200 attend. “NightShift Jazz” will be there 19 members strong.

This is a family block party with lots and lots entertainment for kids & adults. This year is “GREEN UP YOU LIFE”! Environmentally Friendly Lifestyle and we also are hooking up with the David Suzuki Foundation

Looks likes that we are up.


Another year has past

From the three gigs that popped up… everyone, from what I heard, enjoyed the music and the outdoors. Even though it was not a hot summer, at least it did not rain during those outdoor gigs… There are a few small gigs that are not going to be posted on this site but our musical director will have some trick in his sleeve that will require our services during the summer.

Just expect a post sometime in August to be back in the fray of the musical creativity of the band.

Otherwise… y’all have a great summer.

One down, two to go

Well, even though there was an overcast.. our first gig for the summer seem to go smoothly… overall the audience who was there seem to enjoy the wailing and the fresh air. We apologized that we started late, but seems to go pretty well.

On to the next gig.

Not June but summer gigs

There are a lot of things that are going on with the days leading up to June; now has a few gigs after June at least for the time being. This admin will post what gigs is prudent for those months. Check on required pages to determine the required times and songlist for those gigs; soon as it is posted.

Prep for June gigs

As expected… we are playing at our yearly June venues for the year before the summer starts. Please look at the concert listings page for the time and place. Yes, I could put it in the main page but the concert listing page should have the address and the map. There will be more added later when more info arrives.
