One of the most popular figures in smooth jazz, Peter White brings his endearing style and immense talent on acoustic guitar back for a sweet and early Valentine’s date on Saturday, February 8, 2020. White will be joined by veteran saxophonist Michael Paulo and keyboardist Gregg Karukas.
True to his reputation, Rick Braun brings a smooth, mellow and heartfelt performance on Saturday, March 7, 2020. Braun’s inimitable style of jazz trumpet will deliver an experience straight to the soul.
