Steve Creech Jazz All-Stars celebrate 20 years at RAF Tomorrow Night • 2nd Season Music Schedule Updated • RAF on Instagram!
[Fountain, NC] The Steve Creech Jazz All-Stars perform Broadway and musical classics and jazz and pop standards Friday night at Fountain General Store. Creech, the Greenville guitarist and impresario, has been bringing bands to RAF a couple of times a year for 20 years now. All told, he’s had 67 performers join him on stage, and they’re all listed on the back of a commemorative t-shirt printed for this evening’s show.
Featured vocalists are Carolyn Myers and Stephen Peo–who’s also Steve Creech’s grandson. The all-star band working with Creech night includes Jim Gilliam, keyboard & saxophone; Stephan Pryor, acoustic bass; and Andy Vermiglio, drums.
As usual with a Creech show, expect a few guest performers–and a full night’s entertainment.
After Friday night, RAF’s next presents Lightnin’ Wells in concet on Friday, September 13.
The Steve Creech Jazz All-Stars September 6 concert begins at 7:30. General admission, $15; reserved seats, $18; student general admission, $10; 12-under, free. Links for advance purchase of admission here.
