Summer Sampler Music Series
Jazz Spectrum
Tuesday, July 20 at 7:00 p.m.
West Plaza

This is an energetic, jazz influenced vocal quartet backed by four swing musicians. From lush ballads to hip renditions of big band music, from good-time 50's Rock & Roll and Doo Wop to lightening fast vocalese lyrics, Jazz Spectrum lays down a dazzling performance of rich harmonies and tight ensemble work.

Summer Sampler Music Series
Mr. Myers
Tuesday, August 17 at 7:00 p.m.
West Plaza

Featuring wailing sax, searing rock guitar, colorful steel drums, powerful percussion and strong vocals, Mr. Myers blends the sounds of calypso and ska, the rhythms of reggae and a touch of rock and roll with some favorite tunes to create their own special style of music - Caribbean Rock.

We have some outdoor seating, but you are welcome to bring your own folding chairs, blankets or cushions. In case of rain, we’ll move the concert inside. The events are free and tickets are not necessary. The Summer Sampler series is sponsored by the Friends of the Wheaton Public Library.
