SUMMARY:Uncle Floyd - New Jersey's Comedy Legend On Stage at Roy's Hall
DESCRIPTION:A seasoned comedian\, a talented entertainer\, and a gifted piano player\, Floyd Vivino has been entertaining audiences for more than 40 years. However\, Floyd is a lot younger than people may think\, having started in show-biz as a teenager in 1968.Known primarily for his influential comedy/variety television program The Uncle Floyd Show\, which ran more than 4\,000 original episodes from 1974 to 1998\, Floyd “Uncle Floyd” Vivino is a genuine show-biz veteran. \n \nToday Floyd performs as a stand-up comedian\, emcee\, opening act\, and musical entertainer on stage and in nightclubs in Atlantic City\, Las Vegas\, and all over the New York/New Jersey area\, in addition to appearances at all sorts of public events and private functions. In addition\, Floyd hosts Garage Sale Music\, a weekly radio show on WVOX and WFDU\, as well as taking the occasional film role. Always in demand\, Floyd is booked well in advance and plays hundreds of dates each year. \n \nFloyd’s greatest talent is his versatility. His comedy transcends all age groups\, ethnicities and demographics. One night he’ll be joking in Italian for an Italian-American audience\, the next night he’ll play to a late-night crowd at a rowdy night spot\, then an afternoon dinner theater production for seniors. There is no audience Floyd can’t entertain. As the top banana in Uncle Floyd’s Last Authentic American Traveling Burlesque Show\, Floyd recreated the lost American art form (for adults only) that had all but disappeared from theaters today. Floyd also headlined a sister show called The Last American Variety Show starring Uncle Floyd and His Friends\, an old-fashioned vaudeville revue that’s fun for the whole family. \nThe legendary Uncle Floyd Show ran for 24 years on local television and in syndication\, and featured Floyd’s trademark style of honky-tonk piano\, as well as his amazing arsenal of comedy characters. Among the hundreds of guests on the TV show are such popular performers such as The Ramones\, Bon Jovi\, Chubby Checker\, Monty Python\, Davy Jones and Peter Tork of The Monkees\, Cyndi Lauper\, Eddie Money\, David Johansen\, The Smithereens\, Jan & Dean\, Squeeze\, Dave Edmunds\, Rick Derringer\, Benny Bell and Tiny Tim. Fans of the TV show included John Lennon and David Bowie (who wrote a song about Floyd called “Slip Away” on a recent CD). \nIn films\, Floyd has acted alongside stars including Robin Williams\, Paul Simon\, Matt Dillon\, Dudley Moore and Daryl Hannah. On network television\, Floyd had roles on Law & Order and Cosby\, among many others. Mercury Records released an Uncle Floyd record album\, in addition to a number of singles Floyd released on his own including “Deep In The Heart of Jersey” by his alter ego Cowboy Charlie\, a favorite on the Dr. Demento radio show. Steeped in the traditions of Tin Pan Alley\, Floyd is able to perform literally hundreds of pop songs and novelties from the early part of the Twentieth Century. Floyd set a Guinness World’s Record for Continuous Piano Playing by playing (and singing!) some 700 songs in a 24-hour period in front of a live audience

SUMMARY:Darrell Scott - The master singer/songwriter fea. Alex Radus to open
DESCRIPTION:There is an absence of light\, before the light.  A simple bare stage in the waning gloaming\, and I can see Darrell make his way to a lone microphone.  He is here to shine that light on matters of the heart─the grit\, grease\, gristle\, and most importantly\, the marrow beneath the breastbone. \nAnd what is the path that shapes us as we go along\, those true defining moments without which we would be hollow versions of our current selves?  For Darrell\, it was coming from a musical family with a father who had him smitten with guitars by the age of 4\, alongside a brother who played Jerry Reed style as well.  From there\, things only ramped up with literature and poetry endeavors while a student at Tufts University\, along with playing his way through life.  This would never change. \n \nWhen those hands of his make their way across the strings and fretboard\, there is palpable loss of air in the theater\, as the listeners\, our feet and bodies firmly on the ground\, watch his sonic wings take him upwards in flight\, and realize we are as along for the ride through the skies as he is.  Inevitably\, to feel this being channeled\, privy to this shared physical space\, is both heady and inspiring.  Small are the number of things in life which allow us to be so deeply immersed and mesmerized by a moment that we are unable to even be aware of the rest of the world humming and whirring away outside.  This is Darrell Scott terra firma\, where he takes us\, with these otherworldly gifts. \nThe wordsmithing and craftsmanship of the songs that become timeless─although a lost cause for many who try to write them─ is far from a dying art\, thanks to Darrell’s work.  He is more so existing creatively at levels we just don’t fathom anymore. He mines and cultivates the everyday moment\, taking the rote\, menial\, mundane\, and allowing it to be surreal\, ever poignant\, and candidly honest\, lilting\, blooming\, and resonating. The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world\, what is at stake here\, and our place in it. And ultimately\, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters\, that we don’t always get it right\, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things\, why we forever chase it\, and why it is held sacred. \n \nAlex Radus is known as a “sultry crooner” (City Paper) and “master guitarist” (Courier News)\, but his songwriting takes center stage. Known affectionately for giving audiences “genre whiplash”\, Radus pairs whimsical and poignant storytelling with an eclectic mix of Americana\, swing\, blues\, folk and more. Radus has toured the country extensively\, recorded multiple albums\, and earned awards\, nominations and critical acclaim for his songwriting\, recording and performing. His music has been featured on radio\, TV and film\, including Adolescence\, directed by Ashley Avis (Black Beauty). Radus’ discography includes Tributaries–Recorded Live at Godfrey Daniels (“gripping lyricism…impeccable grace and finesse” – Underground Music Collective); Jewels & Tinware (“creative\, original…perfect” – Steel Notes Magazine) and Love Me Like You Hate Me (“impressive…eerie\, intense and wonderful” – Morning Call). \n\n \n

SUMMARY:"Forever Everly" A Cine-Music Tribute to The Everly Bros.
DESCRIPTION:The Everly Brothers were not only among the most important and best early rock & roll stars\, but also among the most influential rockers of any era. They set unmatched standards for close\, two-part harmonies and infused ’50s rock & roll with some of the best elements of country and pop music. In the late ’60s and early ’70s\, their style proved a natural fit for the burgeoning country-rock movement. After a mid-’70s breakup\, the duo reunited in the ’80s and continued performing together into the 21st century. Their legacy was and is felt enormously by all rock acts that employ harmonies as prime features\, from The Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel to legions of country-rockers as well as roots rockers like Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe (who once recorded an EP of Everlys songs together). \n \n \nA glorious blend of film and live music\, Forever Everly is like no other show you’ve seen before. Get to know the ins and outs of the famous duo in a beautifully crafted documentary\, with plenty of room to get up and dance to the incredible music of The Everly Brothers\, Paul Simon\, The Beatles and more!

SUMMARY:The Furious Bongos ~ complex\, diverse\, comical\, satirical\, racy ~ Pure ZAPPA !!
DESCRIPTION:The Furious Bongos are a Zappa project featuring a diverse lineup of seasoned musicians who have played alongside heavyweights like Frank (hizownself) Zappa\, BB King\, Mick Fleetwood\, Vinnie Colaiuta\, Googoosh\, Dweezil Zappa\, LA Philharmonic\, Arthur Barrow\, Munich Philharmonic\, Popa Chubby\, Yo Yo Ma\, Pinetop Perkins\, Chicago Lyric Opera\, blah blah blah….you get the idea. \n \nLegendary 1st call drummer Chad Wackerman\, a 7-year Zappa band veteran\, will power the rhythm section on this tour.\n\n \nThis isn’t strictly a “tribute” band doing a note-for-note rendition of Song X from Album Y while staring at their shoes. The result is a wildly entertaining show that pays respect to Frank Zappa’s legacy but is still new and different and dangerous\, with lots of eyebrows.\nKinda like Frank.

SUMMARY:RYANHOOD - International Acoustic Music Awards ‘Best Group/Duo’
DESCRIPTION:Named ‘Best Group/Duo’ in the International Acoustic Music Awards\, acoustic-duo Ryanhood got their first break as street-performers at Boston’s Quincy Market. It was there that they were spotted by a college booking agent and thrust into the college touring scene as “one of the most requested acts by college buyers all across the country.” They’ve since gone on to perform more than a thousand shows in 47 U.S. states over the past decade\, and have shared stages with Jason Mraz\, Matt Nathanson\, Train\, and many more. \nAnd\, their star is still on the rise. Ryanhood was recently named the “Discovery of the Year” by John Platt at WFUV in New York City\, and was a featured act at Australia’s National Folk Festival \n“Acoustic fusion aces Ryanhood offer an all-natural shot in the arm with Under the Leaves…Mixing bluegrass speed\, jam-ready melodies\, and pop-rocking forward momentum\, two guys with guitars challenge decades of easy-listening ‘rules.’” — Nashville Lifestyle\n \nTheir latest album Under the Leaves\, sees the pair’s lead guitarist Ryan David Green stepping into the role of sole producer\, weaving a tapestry of lush strings and rich harmonies. The album\, like their shows\, is driven by strong acoustic guitar performances and is at turns energetic\, hopeful\, and quietly moving—a musical invitation to breathe\, and to soak in a river of melodies and harmonic hooks. . \nCameron Hood\, the band’s primary lyricist\, has waded into those musical rivers with dream-like verses about seeds and forests\, breath and wind\, and the cycles and seasons that frame our lives. Throughout the album’s songs\, a question is asked: How do we create meaningful and lasting change in a world filled with division and turmoil? The offer on Under the Leaves is to slow down and face the one thing we have the power to change – ourselves – as the duo sings on the album’s second track\, “the only revolution is the one within.” \n \nGreen and Hood currently reside in their hometown of Tucson\, Arizona\, where they have won more than a dozen Tucson Music Awards including “Best Folk Band” and “Best Rock Band” (you can decide for yourself which is most accurate).

SUMMARY:Legendary "Song Poet" Eric Andersen returns to Roy's Hall
DESCRIPTION:Legendary “Song Poet” Eric Andersen returns to Roy’s Hall\nERIC ANDERSEN’S voice\, songs\, guitar and piano playing created a career that has spanned over 45 years. He has recorded 25 albums of original songs\, and made numerous tours of North America\, Europe\, and Japan. His songs have been recorded and performed by world renown artists such as Ricky Nelson\, Judy Collins\, Sandy Denny\, Fairport Convention\, The Kingston Trio\, Peter Paul and Mary\, Linda Ronstadt\, Johnny Cash\, The Grateful Dead\, Linda Thompson\, Mary Chapin Carpenter\, and countless others. \n \nEric is widely regarded as one of the most poetic songwriters that sprang from the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960’s. As a musician\, he defies categorization. His artful mélange of love\, despair\, hope and stirred memory has earned him a passionate international following and the respect and admiration of artists ranging from Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen to Lou Reed and Wyclef Jean. A recent documentary film\, The Songpoet \, offers a look into the mind\, soul and creative process of this multifaceted\, complex and singularly driven artist whose early career saw great expectations waylaid by misfortune. \n \nThe Songpoet Official Trailer from Paul Lamont on Vimeo. \nSong poet\, Eric Andersen entertains and captivates audiences globally. On stage\, he moves gracefully from harmonica and guitar (acoustic and electric) to piano/keyboards while weaving tales of the past\, anecdotes of the road\, and sometimes hints of explanation of his song poems. \n“Andersen is the most elegant of singers. He is powered by the singular mix of irony and high romanticism that fuels his classic work.” `~ Paul Evans\, Rolling Stone Magazine

SUMMARY:Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon w/ opening set by Airshow
DESCRIPTION:  \nVince Herman with special guest Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth\nBack in 1985\, Vince Herman left his native West Virginia for the Rocky Mountains in search of that truth. It wasn’t long after he arrived in Colorado when Herman wandered into the Boulder’s now-defunct Walrus Saloon and serendipitously crossed paths with multi-instrumentalist Drew Emmitt. The duo formed Leftover Salmon in 1989. \nWhen the pandemic swept across America in 2020\, Vince Herman bought an RV and hit the road. His goal was to remain under the radar in his vehicular bubble\, on a solo excursion to rediscover the country — at his own pace\, and in his own way. \n\n \n\n\nHerman points to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s seminal 1972 record Will the Circle be Unbroken as an influence for what he’s ultimately aiming to do in the country music sphere with his new album “Enjoy The Ride”. “That album was [Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s] attempt to bring hippies to country music back in the 1970s\,” Herman says. “And I’d like to further that along\, because country music has so much to offer\, as far as storytelling and that sort of thing. The jam band culture and the country music culture seem miles and miles apart\,” he continues. “I think it’s time to bring that together.” \n \nAirshow is a high-flying jamband that’s sure to soar to the top of every music fans priority list this year.Having originally formed in Reading\, PA\, childhood best friends\, Steve Gallagher (guitar/vocals) and Cody Chelius (mandolin/vocals)\, spread their wings and migrated to Nashville\, TN in 2015. There they met Bill Baker (bass/vocals) and John Rodrigue (drums/vocals) and immediately started their ascension towards the top of Nashville’s jamband scene.

SUMMARY:The Joe Cirotti Trio official album release show
DESCRIPTION:The Joe Cirotti Trio is a well-oiled string band from the shadows of Northwest Jersey’s Appalachian ridge. Friends of Roy’s Hall are no strangers to this abundantly talented aggregation\, as members of the Trio have performed at Roy’s in various combinations and permutations numerous times over the years. In 2015\, Joe Cirotti\, Mike Alexander\, and Pete Lister’s respective multi instrumentalist upbringings fused with a collective passion for the roots of American folk\, country\, and bluegrass music. In this way the trio’s bond is rooted in proximity\, strengthened by a blue-collar passion for picking\, and buoyed by their shared propensity for cigarettes and whiskey. Timmy Coyle has filled in for Mike since 2021 on multiple instruments\, and they now occasionally play in tandem when the band plays as a quartet. The group also appears in various quartet and quintet line-ups\, incorporating percussion or drums into the arrangements. Expect an extraordinary evening of the finest acoustic music mastery NJ has to offer from this band that has national recognition looming just around the bend. \n  \nEnjoy this live-stream video broadcast of the Trio from Roy’s Hall at the height of the pandemic. Joe’s guitar gets louder in the mix as the show progresses.

SUMMARY:Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen~True blues spirit meets heavy rock n’ roll
DESCRIPTION:DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN’s dynamic\, heavy\, swagger- injected\, sexy & dirty\, blues-influenced rock n’ roll brings vintage sound and vibe to modern ears. The band’s much-anticipated third album Black Leather Blues via Mo Mojo Records underlines this and much more. \n \nFronted by the transcendent lead guitarist/singer/songwriter Dustin Douglas\, The Electric Gentlemen—rounded out by drummer Tommy Smallcomb and bassist Matt “The Dane” Gabriel—command the stage with virtuosic musicianship and classic-rock spirit mixed with punk rock attitude that leaves even the most discerning music fans falling in love with their style at the end of any live show. \n \nRock and Blues Muse describes Dustin’s music as “a soul-cleansing shot of progressive blues/rock minimalism that’s as much about the space between the notes as the notes themselves. Dustin Douglas is a first-class guitar shaman\, weaving together spellbinding riffs and solos that transport listeners directly into his world.” The publication added: “His vocals are strident and strong\, expressing the hard blues inherent in 21st Century life.” Pennsylvania’s Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen put the pedal to the floor\, asking for no mercy with heavy riffs\, huge hooks and memorable\, blues-inspired rock n’ roll rhythms that takes listeners on a familiar yet fresh musical journey.

SUMMARY:The Alison Brown Quintet - The progressive banjo master in concert
DESCRIPTION:Alison Brown doesn’t play the banjo.\nAlison Brown plays music on the banjo. \nShe’s acclaimed as one of today’s finest progressive banjo players\, but you rarely find her in a conventional bluegrass setting. Instead\, she’s known for leading an ensemble that successfully marries a broad array of roots-influenced music: folk\, jazz\, Celtic and Latin. \n \n \nAcoustic instrumental music has never been so beautifully represented as by Alison Brown.  As one of the most multi-faceted minds on today’s roots music scene\, every one of Alison’s endeavors is marked by innovation\, intelligence\, and grace. As a banjo player\, she throws out the textbook when it comes playing the banjo and the result is a sound that blends the rugged drive of bluegrass with the harmonic sensibilities of jazz\, earning vast acclaim and a GRAMMY award in the process.

SUMMARY:House Of Hamill  "... on the edge of tradition and innovation"
DESCRIPTION:House Of Hamill\n\n\n\n“Great hooks\, eclectic arrangements and tuneful melodies that will certainly reach listeners from all walks of life.” – Jeff Goble— Folk N Rock\nHouse of Hamill owes its existence – almost entirely – to a series of cancelled flights. Rose Baldino and Brian Buchanan first found themselves onstage together at the 2014 Folk Alliance International conference in Kansas City. Rose’s band Burning Bridget Cleary was scheduled to perform\, but inclement weather prevented two of her bandmates from flying. Desperate to salvage the showcase\, Rose approached Brian\, who she knew fronted Canadian celtic rock band Enter the Haggis. She thrust a guitar into Brian’s hands\, pulled him onstage\, and the two just clicked. \n \nFour years and hundreds of shows later\, the duo was booked to play a closing slot at a Colorado festival\, so they hired a bass player and drummer to fill out their sound. By the oddest of coincidences\, their hired bandmates’ flights were canceled the day of the show. A frantic Facebook post introduced Brian and Rose to local musician Caroline Browning\, who joined them on bass for the weekend. Once again\, the chemistry was undeniable\, and House of Hamill became a trio. \n \nToday\, Pennsylvania-based House of Hamill is a fixture on festival stages across the US\, and have shared their music and stories on the country’s premier folk stages. Their version of “Pound a Week Rise” rose to #1 on the US Folk DJ charts\, and the video for their all-violin cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” amassed over 16 million views on Facebook\, where it was shared over 400\,000 times. Their latest release\, “Folk Hero\,” captures perfectly the frenetic energy and eclecticism of their always engaging live show. A lively collection of original instrumentals\, reimagined folk ballads\, and new songs that showcase the trio’s versatility\, “Folk Hero” is the third House of Hamill album to be funded entirely by their fans. \n \nWhether they’re ripping through a set of original jigs and reels\, adding lush three-part harmonies into traditional folk ballads\, or cracking up an audience with stories from the road\, House of Hamill puts on a show that captivates audiences from the very first note.

SUMMARY:Chris Smither in Concert - The folk/blues legend returns to Roy's
DESCRIPTION:Having distilled his own signature sound of blues and folk for over 50 years\, Chris Smither is truly an American original. A profound songwriter\, Chris continues to draw deeply from the blues\, American folk music\, modern poets and philosophers. From his early days as the New Orleans transplant in the Boston folk scene\, through his wilderness years\, to his reemergence in the 1990s as one of America’s most distinctive acoustic performers\, Chris Smither continues to hone his distinctive sound. He has always traveled his own road and stayed true to his musical vision. He may be best known for writing “Love You Like A Man” which Bonnie Raitt and\, more recently\, jazz great Diana Krall have covered. His music has been covered by numerous artists and featured in soundtrack albums\, independent film\, television\, and commercials. Reviewers continue to praise his dazzling guitar work\, gravelly voice and songwriting. The New York Times: “With a weary\, well-traveled voice and a serenely intricate finger-picking style\, Mr. Smither turns the blues into songs that accept hard-won lessons and try to make peace with fate.” \n \nMore From the Levee (2020 Signature Sounds) is a masterwork and companion release to the celebrated double-CD 50-year career retrospective Still On the Levee that came out in 2014.  It sports the unmistakable guitar sound Chris has made his own meshed with spare\, brilliant songs\, delivered in a bone-wise\, hard-won voice. \n \n“Smither is an American original\, a product of the musical melting pot\, and one of the absolute best singer-songwriters in the world.” ~ ASSOCIATED PRESS \n“Bathed in the flickering glow of passing headlights and neon bar signs\, Smither’s roots are as blue as they come. There is plenty of misty Louisiana and Lightnin’ Hopkins in Smither’s weathered singing and unhurried picking. So fine.” ~ ROLLING STONE \n“With a weary\, well-traveled voice and a serenely intricate finger-picking style\, Mr. Smither turns the blues into songs that accept hard-won lessons and try to make peace with fate.” ~ NEW YORK TIMES

SUMMARY:Katie Henry Band with special guest Dustin Douglas
DESCRIPTION:Songwriter and New Jersey native Katie Henry might have started out banging on doors\, braving New York’s blues clubs\, playing piano until her fingers bled\, and winning over the city one show at a time. But lately\, the multi-instrumentalist has raced through career milestones at a rocket pace. \n \nWith fiery guitar chops and natural charisma\, she was soon a New York City jam scene favorite. Those who were there\, remember songs of many genres\, blues\, rock\, R&B\, funk\, pop\, soul\, and country\, and her stage presence evoked Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin at their most magnetic. \n \nWarming the stage for Katie is blues-rocker Dustin Douglas\, performing solo\, prefacing his full-band appearance at Roy’s Hall on June 8th with The Electric Gentlemen.

SUMMARY:James McMurtry - Texas' Master Storyteller **SOLD OUT**
DESCRIPTION:James McMurtry tours year-round and consistently throws down unparalleled powerhouse performances. His fourth appearance at Roy’s Hall will feature songs from his newest “New West” release\, “The Horses and The Hounds”\, as well as favorites from across his broad and universally acclaimed discography. \n \n \nThe son of one of America’s most celebrated novelists\, James McMurtry followed the family’s tradition: he’s a master storyteller who relates his tales in verse and music. Part of the Texas singer/songwriter community\, McMurtry has a gift for character studies\, documenting lives not in perfect balance\, and offering political commentary on how the choices of the powerful impact the lives of ordinary folks. McMurtry’s vocals are dour and plainspoken\, but give eloquent voice to the lives of his protagonists\, and his artfully unadorned lyrics are often full of warmth and humanity\, even in narratives full of chaos. McMurtry made a celebrated debut with 1989’s Too Long in the Wasteland\, he hit a creative stride with 2005’s Childish Things and 2008’s Just Us Kids\, and on 2021’s The Horses and the Hounds\, the performances and production were every bit as compelling as McMurtry’s songs. \n“The simple fact is that James McMurtry may be the truest\, fiercest songwriter of his generation…”\nStephen King | Entertainment Weekly\n \n“BettySoo may well have the most gorgeous voice in Texas …if not in all contemporary folk – its purity and strength can be downright devastating.” – ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE \nRaised outside Houston by first-generation Korean immigrant parents\, BettySoo grew up listening to the Great American songbook and country radio.  Older sisters led her to the world of singer/songwriters\, and nights spent at The Cactus Café and Hole In The Wall turned her on to the legacy of Texas song. \n \nBettySoo tours nonstop\, these days either as a solo headliner or as dedicated support for James McMurtry and Chris Smither. Along with her agile guitar playing\, her intelligent\, tightly-constructed lyrics and captivating melodies keep audiences entranced\, and if you’re lucky\, you’ll also find her onstage demonstrating her other super-power when she is singing harmonies with various luminaries.

SUMMARY:The Jimmy Vivino Band ~ Conan O'Brien's long-time band leader rocks Roy's Hall
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Vivino (aka Jimmy V) has always considered himself “a blues man with a job”. Although best known for serving 26 years as Conan O’Brien’s musical director\, guitarist and bandleader\, his experience in the music business predates that by 20 plus years. \n \nJimmy V has produced\, led bands and recorded with a countless number rock and roll and blues artists for five decades including the likes of Hubert Sumlin\, Warren Haynes\, Bob Weir\, Keith Richards\, Elvis Costello\, Johnnie Johnson\, Son Seals\, Shemekia Copeland\, Levon Helm\, Phoebe Snow\, Dion\, Laura Nyro\, Bob Margolin\, Lowell Fulson\, John Sebastian\, Joe Louis Walker and Al Kooper to name a few. When not producing\, recording or touring with other artists\, \n \nGrowing up in New Jersey\, Jimmy Vivino was\, in many ways\, a typical Italian-American kid. His life centered around family – his parents\, siblings\, and extended relatives – all of whom not only played key roles in his life\, but were vital to his development as a musician. \nOne of three sons born to an amateur-but-ardent trumpet player\, Vivino and his brothers\, Floyd (Uncle Floyd) and Jerry\, grew up in a home where the music of jazz legends like Roy Eldridge\, Louis Armstrong\, Bobby Hackett\, Ella Fitzgerald\, Billie Holliday\, and Dinah Washington permeated the living-room walls\, usually accompanied by their father and his horn\, along with Broadway music and hit pop records of the day. \nDon’t miss this incredible evening of Blues and R&B with Jimmy Vivino and his band.
