Music Under the Pines

Description

Jazz Pianist & Vocalist, BENJAMIN FURMAN To perform at TWISTED FISH GALLERY in ELK RAPIDS Friday, August 30, 2024, 6pm to 7pm

Our second "MUSIC UNDER THE PINES" is happening outside, on the lawn of our Cottage Gallery on Friday, August 30th featuring the Latin Jazz music of Benjamin Furman.

Guests are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs, picnics & picnic blankets to cozy up outside as we swing and sway to Benjamin's original songs and piano accompaniment. Having provided a beautiful performance last year at the gallery, we know that this will be a treat for the entire family.
