David Miller, on keys, and Betty Ann will provide music mostly from the Great American Songbook - music that you may have heard in Broadway musicals, movies, on your parent’s record player, or in jazz cafes; music made famous by Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra. This music is timelesss, as evidenced by Diana Krall and Michael Bublé. They may also throw in some surprises from other genres, and Betty Ann might even get her ukulele out!

More info here: https://www.facebook.com/MetcalfeCA/ Bring your lawn chairs and mosquito repellant and enjoy some tunes.

This is a weekly event, every Thursday all summer, weather permitting, in front of the Gazebo in Victoria Park, which is across from the Royal Bank on Victoria Street in Metcalfe, Ontario.
