There BACK !
The Dixie
Diehards Jazz Band Returns
|
On September 25th,
the
Dixie Diehards
Dixieland Jazz Band will return to
the Marion Art Center for their 4th
appearance. Since 2006, the Dixie
Diehards have delighted fans at theatre
concerts, parties, dances, music-in-the-park
appearances, and cultural events throughout
Southeastern New England.
Drawn together
from all walks of life, the Dixie Diehards
members include teachers, professional
musicians, retired professor, medical doctor
and an investigative reporter to name a few.
What unites us is an abiding love for the
Dixieland and traditional New Orleans jazz
music, a passion for entertaining, and our
skill in relating the music of such artists
as Fats Waller, Louis Armstrong, Hoagy
Carmichael and King Oliver.
From tunes like
"Basin Street Blues, " Tiger Rag" and
"Bourbon Street Parade" to " Cabaret" and
the "Saints", the Dixie Diehards take their
audiences on a brassy and nostalgic trip
from the Jazz Age up through the show tunes
that formed an immortal part of our musical
heritage.
|
While
knowledgeable jazz fans will thrill to the
Diehards' spirited renditions of their
favorites, the band's family friendly
appearances are an inspired way to introduce
young minds to the roots and essence of
jazz-America's sole indigenous musical art
form.
There will be
one performance Saturday September 25th at
7:30 PM . The Marion Art Center theatre will
be set up " cabaret " style with tables for
up to six. Reservations are encouraged
since seating is limited and past
appearances have been sold out. Call
508-748-1266 for reservations. Tables
