Bill Hutchinson, Entertainment Director entertainmentdirector@thornebrookart.org
Thornebrook’s annual art festival continues to offer music as varied as the visual arts that set the stage. Some of the area’s most-loved performers will be on hand to play music that’s sure to please almost every taste.
SAXOPHONE JAZZ- The Dave Sloane Jazz Project features the best saxophone moods around. Dave Sloane and guitarist Taylor Roberts are joined by bassist David Ottenberg and drummer Mike Pokriefka for two great shows on Saturday.
COUNTRY & AMERICANA - Boulware & Stewart will cook up some lovely sounds with great, sincere vocals and a reliable guitar twang. This band will make a believer of you as you wait for a “Merle moment” or a light-hearted look at Hick Hop.
CLASSIC POP from the 30s through the 70s. - Amusica includes everything from Gershwin to the Beatles. The band plays 3 sets on Saturday with stunning vocalist Jennifer Johnson, Bill Hutchinson on guitar, John Netardus on oboe and clarinet and David Turner on cello and bass. This group is musically literate and fun.
GYPSY JAZZ - Hot Club DeVille offers an excellent and exciting instrumental look into the hot jazz of Europe of the early 20th Century in a lively and compelling sound reminiscent of Django Reinhardt and Stephan Grappelli in their heyday.
FOLK AND POP- Edan Archer is a beautiful young woman talented beyond her years. She presents contemporary original folk with a soulful sincerity and pleasant sound along with tuneful covers from the pop world.
CLASSICAL MUSIC - We are very proud to announce a return appearance by the Baroque virtuosos of The Alachua Consort. Violin, oboe and harpsichord unite to make timeless, elegant music and a lovely atmosphere.
HARP- Master Harpist Rupert Parker will be on hand to show just how wonderful a full harp can sound by adding a little electricity in tech and technique. He’s played everywhere from Harrad’s in London to Gatlinburg.
