Saturday, August 15; 5:30 - 8 PM

82 Main Street, Maynard, MA

We'll be playing a couple of sets in the bar/lounge of The Sanctuary. Maynard's premier arts and culture venue, The Sanctuary has a gorgeous performance hall -- a renovated former church sanctuary -- and a very cozy and attractively decorated bar and lounge. There's a full bar, with a variety of local and national craft beverages along with a nice array of non-alcoholic choices, for those who, like us, total the tee.

No food on offer, but you can BYOF or order from one of the delectable local options, such as Maynard's own (and highly recommended) Azucar Tapas Bar

We will be featuring a number of selections from our upcoming album, "Up On the Lowdown".

This is a rare opportunity to hear us in a relaxed bar setting with sophisticated adult refreshments on offer. And remember, the more you drink, the better we sound!†

Alexander's Jazz Time Band

Mendon Town Beach, 45 Taft Ave, Mendon, MA

Chris is playing rhythm guitar and singing lead w Alexander's Jazz Time Band in a concert in Mendon. It's a tuba instead of a jug; and trumpet, clarinet, sax and trombone instead of kazoos, but they play with spirit nonetheless. Led by the peripatetic and indefatigable Alexander Lane, this top-notch big band playing stock charts from the late 20s and early 30s will make an exuberantly joyful noise.

"This group is fantastic! Can I sit in?" – Larry W, BSO & Boston Pops bassist

The place to be on a fine summer evening — bring a picnic!

Free and open to the public!

Saturday, August 22nd 7 - 9:00 PM
