City of Palmdale Mayor Jim Ledford and Director of Parks & Recreation Russ Bird announced the entertainers who will perform at the third annual Palmdale Jazz & Wine Festival.
Coming Saturday, September 12 at the Palmdale Amphitheater at Marie Kerr Park, 2723 Rancho Vista Boulevard.
The entertainment lineup opens with contemporary jazz guitarist Richard Smith, whose latest album, SOuLIDFIED, spent 17 weeks at the top of the jazz charts.
With eight Top 5 Radio & Records singles, four of which hit #1, contemporary jazz saxophonist Euge Groove will perform beginning at 7:30 pm. Among his #1 hits are “Keep Coming Back,” “Slam Dunk” and “Rewind.”
The evening closes with a 9 pm performance by guitarist/singer/songwriter Norman Brown. Since the release of his critically acclaimed 2002 album, Just Chillin' – which won a Grammy® in the prestigious Best Pop Instrumental Category – this innovative and original guitarist has been front and center in the fast evolving fusion of pop, R&B and jazz that has captured the imagination of true music aficionados across the country and around the world.
The Festival will be announcing an additional performer and special guest MC in the next few weeks.
