This is the 18-piece Beantown Swing
Orchestra's last dance in Concord until February, so make sure you come see us at this
historical venue this Saturday. We have a very special guest which will surely make
it worth your while!
We will be featuring American Idol finalist John
Stevens as he performs songs by his favorite singer, Frank Sinatra, as
well as other classics by Bobby Darin and Harry Connick Jr. Now
21 years old and with one record
album under his belt, John placed 6th overall during American Idol's third
season as a 16-year-old. To see his performance of "As Time Goes
By" on American Idol, click on the video below.. When John
graduates from Berklee this spring, he plans on resuming his recording
career. Catch him while you can, as he may become the next Michael
Buble!
Before the band goes on,swing dance instructors Liz Miller
and Seth Burgess will givean hour-longbeginner
lesson starting at 7:30pm, which is
free with admission and no partner or
experience is required. Because the "followers" rotate
through the "leaders," it's a great way to meet people before the dance
begins.
Then, John Stevens and the 18-piece Beantown Swing Orchestra will get the
dance floor hopping with classic
big band arrangements. The band mainly
consists of college students from Berklee and NEC, as well as some recent
grads. There is plenty of energy here
to get the place swinging all night long!
During the break, a jazz quartet consisting of students at Westford Academy will
perform.
The Scout House, located in beautiful historic downtown
Concord Center, is an 18th century barn that was converted into a
dance hall in 1940 and has remained a
popular dance venue ever since. The acoustics are great, and the dance floor is so springy you
feel like you can fly! Please bring a change of shoes to protect the dance floor. Parking is
readily available on the street or in nearby public lots (but please do not park
in the church lot just to the right). If taking public
transportation, the Concord station of the commuter rail (Fitchburg line)
is a six minute walk from the Scout House through a very safe neighborhood.
Hope
to see you this
Saturday, and please forward this announcement to all
your friends!
