July Jam in Central Park Thursday July 29 6pm to 9:30pm
Music and revelry from The Svens, The Blowholes, Marzipanhandlers, and Fromage à Trois.
This is a FREE, family-friendly event. Bring your family, friends and have your dinner in the park and enjoy the music.
Starting just after 6pm you'll hear acoustic music from the likes of Marzipanhandlers, Fromage à Trois, and others.
At 7pm The Svens will perform a show that is sure to entertain: narrated tales of the wild west blended with surf music delivered with The Svens' unique stylings.
8pm - more acoustic music with Marzipanhandlers, Fromage à Trois, with others joining in.
8:30pm - The Blowholes return! Rested and ready, The Blowholes are a 7-piece progressive swing group (4 horns and 3 rhythm players) who will swing and groove as the sun sets.
9:30pm - We'll wrap it up and combine all the musicians with a couple jam-style tunes.
CDs will be available from the respective bands, including The Svens' "Doc" CD, and my own semi-acoustic-folksy-blues collection of new songs entitled "Letters To Myself"
Hope to see you there!

Caught in the Act at Corvallis Red, White and Blues Riverfront Festival
Playing (trumpet/flugel - maybe a little sax too) with Caught in the Act. Been sitting in with these guys for a while now. A terrific band and a super group of guys. You'll hear some classics (like "Still Diggin' on James Brown") as well as some originals that sound like classics!
Caught in the Act plays from 4:30 to 6:30 - two full sets. Looking forward to hearing the other bands too.
It's a lovely way to spend the day.
