Make plans to for the first weekend in September to swing into fall with two great end-of-summer concerts. Sponsored by the The Las Vegas Jazz Society, the weekend kicks off on Friday, September 7 featuring Jerry Lopez’ Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns, a high-energy band that provides an organic blend of funk, salsa, swing and jazz. Come back for more on Saturday, September 8, when the musical talents of Walter Boenig Big Band and Jo Belle Yonely provide a night of Big Band Dance music sounds while honoring straight-ahead jazz.
The concerts are hosted by the Spring Mountain Ranch State Park in the super Summer Theatre, located 10 miles west of 215 on Charleston Blvd. Guests familiar with the outdoor summer theatre program know to bring a blanket, lounge chairs and a cooler of drinks to enjoy the sultry clean air and the brilliant red cliffs juxtaposed against the green grass and trees of the historic ranch.
Both concerts begin at 7 pm and gates open to the public at 6 pm. Tickets can be purchased in advance for $10 at the UNLV Box Office, Prestige Travel at Lake Mead and Rampart or online at unlvtickets.com. A limited number of tickets are available at the door the night of each show for $15. For more information, please call 702.594.PLAY or visit www.supersummertheatre.com.
This project is funded, in part, by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
