25 may. upstairs @ mistral. piccolo spoleto.

I'm very excited and proud to be a part of this year's 30th Anniversary Piccolo Spoleto Festival Jazz Series!! I will be performing in two very different events and am in hopes to see you all out and about. Sunday, May 25th, the guys and I will be performing Upstairs at Mistral at Mistral Restaurant - located at 99 S Market Street. This is a brand new series that has very limited seating and tickets are selling fast! I will be debuting a couple of new tunes and sharing the stage with Gerald Gregory (piano), David Linaburg (guitar), Nathan Koci (accordion/flugelhorn), Kevin Hamilton (bass) and Nick Jenkins (drums). This will be the last chance to see David playing with us for awhile, as he is looking forward to his move to New York. Mistral is offering an $11 menu/item (excluding tax & tip) and will be serving from their full bar selection. Entrance to this event is via 180 Meeting Street, in the First Citizens Building. Take the elevator to the second floor. Tickets are $15 and are available online now at PICCOLOSPOLETO.COM or by calling 843.554.6060. Tickets are also available at the Piccolo Spoleto Box Office at the Gaillard Auditorium.

PLEASE ALSO SEE MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES! MANY OF THEM ARE ALSO PERFORMING IN THIS SERIES. A COMPLETE SCHEDULE CAN BE FOUND AT JAZZARTISTSOFCHARLESTON.ORG.
