All sessions feature our Musical Host Raphael Semmes
Our August 16th session featured Abi Thomas and Taylor Wells
We had another standing-room-only crowd on hand to support two local up-and-comers, Abi Thomas and Taylor Wells. They were joined on the Jazz Spot by Terry Miller on trumpet, Richard Smith on keys, and Raphael Semmes on bass – making it an uber-talented quintet!
Abi delighted the crowd with her lovely voice, delivering jazz standards like an old pro. While Taylor played the strings with nimble fingers reminiscent of his mentor Barry Leach. This was a special session for us because Abi and Taylor have both participated in our festival as students when their school bands were invited to perform. And now here they were headlining their own session as professionals!

Held Saturday, April 5, 2025
Despite a threatening weather forecast and winds gusting to 40 mph, we had another incredible turnout for the jazz festival! Our headliner Grace Kelly was a huge hit, with many guests buying her albums and begging us to book her again!
Thank you to everyone who helped make it another success!
