Week number 2 of the Swingin’ at the Shell summer concert series just finished and it was a hit. So far Kevin Collins and Small Town Son have taken the stage by storm and been great evening entertainment for the whole family.
Next week the stage will host Hot Club of Lansing. They perform gypsy jazz and accoustic swing – emphasizing Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s jazz style from Paris in the 1930′s and 40′s, but also touching on bebop and classic american jazz standards. Music to move your soul…and your feet!
