2008 Densmore Summer Series
All Concerts are Sunday Evening at 7 PM

July 27^th  The Bristol Brothers
Another great evening of Bluegrass music features The Bristol Brothers.  Don Springer and Richard Hood, AKA Doc & Don and Norm Darling play a variety of authentic instruments and blend history  and storytelling with music.  Don and Richard have championed old time mountain music and bluegrass so long you would think they started it!!  These fellas are a piece of Americana that routinely need to be enjoyed or at least referenced so that musically and culturally we don’t forget where we came from.

August 3rh - Seaway Swing
Hot Music for hot nights as these friends return to give us our yearly fix of swing and jazz on the St. Lawrence River.  They have a huge repertoire loaded with swing standards and they take requests!  Sit back and relax to the wonderful sounds led by Paul Buell.

 August 10^th - For Heavens Sake
Back again this year with their perfectly blended barbershop voices. Mary Ann Wert (Baritone), Laurie Shepherd (Lead), Katie Taylor (Bass) and Lorie Autote (Tenor) formed their quartet in 1996 and went on to win the International Quartet Championship in Saint John, New Brunswick that same year.  Quite an accomplishment!!!  In addition to performing they are committed to sharing their love of barbershop music with today’s youth - the future of their wonderful style of music.

August 17^th - Kathryn Ingerson, Tom Anzalone and  Rick Badour

August 24^th - Lesa Ashbocker, Rodger Hicks and David Garlock
Another great trio combine forces this year for an evening of light jazz and cabaret style music.  David joins Lesa and Rodger for the first time, and what a talented musician he is!  David plays a mean guitar and is amazing.  He can be heard every Friday evening at the Dancing Dog in downtown Alexandria Bay playing and singing a wide variety of music.  Add Rodger's soulful sax and Lesa’s vocals for a winning combination.
