CRDL Jazz & More at the Library

Live music at your library? That’s exactly what’s happening Sunday October 12th as “Jazz and More at the Library” returns for its 18th year at the Veterans Memorial Library branch of the Chippewa River District Library System.

“Jazz and More at the Library” takes place every 2nd Sunday of the month through Sunday April 5th, 2009 (the first Sunday of the Month due to the Easter Holiday). All performances start at 3pm at the Veterans Memorial Library, are free and open to the public, and are followed by a social hour hosted by the Friends of the Library.

On Sunday October 12th the Medicine Ball Band will open the season. The Medicine Ball Band was formed in the 1970’s as a street band. Led by guitarist David Sturdevant, the band has consisted of some of the best traditional dixieland jazz and be-bop players in the area. Members have included Pee-Wee Ellis of James Brown's Band, Richie Cole and other well-known (and lesser-known) musicians.
