Update: Friday (5/18/2012) evening at the Grapes on the Grass
7:00-9:00 Second Street Band from Owensboro returns to the same lead-off slot as last year. This big band lays-down the hits of Glen Miller, Duke Ellington, and more contemporary bands. The Eville Swing Cats will perform in front of the stage and teach a few swing dance tricks to brave members of the audience.
Saturday all day
12:00-3:00 pm Jon Patton Quartet is a Newburgh based band. You will recognize its members by sight and sound. Jon Patton’s playlist ranges from light jazz, to hits from the 50’s and 60’s, to contemporary music. They are a hometown favorite.
3:00-5:00 Barbara Santora & Jazzin is a real crowd pleaser with appearances in top venues including Las Vegas. Barbara is known to “work the crowd” and even make members of the audience “instant stars.”
5:00-7:00 After Hours Jazz with Cary and Michael Gray is a mainstay on the local jazz scene. They’ve played all the top clubs. Cary is also known for her renditions of standards and show tunes. After Hours Jazz is back by popular demand.
7:00-9:00 Hoosier Daddy is new to our stage this year, but hugely popular at local and regional venues. Hoosier Daddy crosses generations with their musical mix. They’ve expanded with the arrival of Megan Dukes, who can sound like Katy Perry and other contemporary artists.
Is this tonight?
When exactly is this fest Is it today or Saturday? Or all week…
i do hope this event is well attended. the very notion of sipping wine, conversing in multi-syllable sentences, and catching up with old friends may seem woefully democratic in these parts. you may have heard of gomerfest, otherwise known as the ‘social event of the season’. well,unfortunately, it too is slated for this weekend. past experience tell’s me the local populace will be drawn to this farce like moths to a blowtorch. the only solace you gentle folk may be able to find in this ‘scheduling quirk’ is that while you are enjoying chablis and cool jazz,a couple of hundred rabid rednecks will be lipsynching the national anthem and pledging allegiance to god know’s what.
