8/5/15 – Dixielanders: This six-member Dixieland Band will be taking us back to yesteryear with the famous Dixieland sounds from the early to mid 1900s. Spanning American entertainment from the turn of the last century, The Dixielanders draws its repertoire from Dixieland favorites, Traditional Jazz, Early Swing, Sing-a-Longs, Tin Pan Alley, Roaring 20’s and Novelty Songs. Come join the fun and excitement as the music and memories carry you back to a simpler and happier time. And if you know how to whistle, hum or croon, you are sure to join in on the fun.
