Free Summer Concerts in Savannah – This Week
Good Show Won’t Travel – This week
If you are looking for good music and don’t want to travel and don’t want to deal with the late night crowd, there are some free shows I recommend.
2010 Concerts in the Squares
Concerts in the Squares begin this week. This series, sponsored by City of Savannah Department of Cultural Affairs, begins on Wednesday June 2nd at Johnson Square with Roger Moss & Eric Jones. “We’ll swing, sway and saunter,” said Roger Moss, Connect Savannah’s Best Of Savannah – Best Vocalist 2008, 2009 and 2010. “My theme for the performance this year is Blues, Ballads and Broadway.” Eric Jones, one of the most requested pianists in the area, will accompany Roger. Originally from Jessup, GA, Eric has performed with Gina Rene, Huxie Scott, Teddy Adams and Howard Paul, among others. The series continues with the second performance on Friday, June 4th. Gina Rene will take the stage with her high-energy performance backed by a power jazz trio consisting of piano, bass and drums.

Julie Wilde and the Bohemian Dream Band
If you are looking for a fun happy hour and want to listen to good live entertainment, Julie Wilde and The Bohemian Dream Band will be performing at Rocks On The Roof this Thursday evening. We bring a fresh air of Gypsy Jazz to Savannah. It is a sound that is not often heard around this area. Julie’s original songs and our 1920′s-1930′s repertoire makes a great late afternoon upbeat environment. Come join Julie Wilde and the Bohemian Dream Band with me on Jazz violin at Rocks On The Roof, Bohemian Hotel.
When: June 3rd

Where: Rocks on the Roof, Bohemian Hotel
