The festival kicks off with the 17-piece local favorite, the SouthCoast Jazz Orchestra, back for the seventh year with its classic big-band sound, a powerhouse group of regional musicians led by Symphony Music Shop owner, Bob Williamson. The band plays semi-regularly at Gilda’s Stone Rooster in Marion.
Alan Bernstein and the New Bop Revue Featuring Marcelle Gauvin. Alan, Dino, Chris and Mike have played for the past several years in several configurations, always expanding their repertoire from bop, modern styles and standards. Add Marcelle to the mix and you have a contemporary ensemble that is both innovative and exciting.
The Scruffy Aristocrats are a providence based 6-piece brass band. The group came together on the streets of Rhode Island making music for crowds at Water Fire, to popping up in Newport to play by the ocean. Thriving in energetic, playful and dance worthy music, the Scruffy Aristocrats are sure to have the whole house on their feet. And since we’re always cordial to our guest (and maybe professionally mischievous) we have an array of tunes to get everyone moving.
From The Jackson 5, the temptations and Mungo Jerry, to New Orleans style jazz, to funk, and a sprinkle of hip-hop, everyone’s musical tastes buds will be satisfied.
