This coming June 5, the lawns around the 19th century Willowbank historic site in the Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario community of Queenston will be grooving with the sounds of some of the best musicians on the scene today.
John Sherwood, a Niagara, Ontario original and one of the next best things in jazz piano to his late great hero Oscar Peterson, will be there, as will the Jay Reed Trio, Hamilton All Star Jazz Band and many others. At a cost of $40 for the day for the general public and $35 for members of ‘Friends of Willowbank’, it is one ‘jumpin at the woodside’ bargain, plus the proceeds go to keeping this wonderful old heritage building, dedicated to good art and architecture, going.
You can find out more about this festival and the artists performing at it by visiting Willowbank’s site at www.willowbank.ca.
