Entertainment
Back by popular demand...this year's event will feature the musical talent of local groups Blue Light Special and Temple Avenue. Keep reading for more information on these spectacular musicians!
Blue Light Special
Attention K-Mart shoppers. In the back aisle, where the floor is a little sticky and a stubbed out cigarette is still smoking, that's where you'll find Blue Light Special. 100% American made, built to last, cheap and loud, but it comes with a lifetime guarantee. They play Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Stevie Ray and Etta James, Muddy and Jr. Wells, along with a few of their own songs, too, and they've been doing it like that for over seven years now (courtesy of bluelightspecialblues.com). Learn more about Blue Light Special on their website, and see them live at Jazz Fest on August 9th!
Temple Ave.
This jazz quartet combines youthful energy and creativity with respect for Jazz music's traditions. The group features three Temple University students, saxophonist Seth Ebersole, bassist Jack Synoski and drummer Austin Wagner; pianist Colin Mekeel, a Manheim Township junior who previously won District Jazz Band, completes the ensemble.
