Mike Levine will perform a mix of songs from the Great American Songbook, including tunes from Gershwin, Porter and Ellington. To spice things up, Mike will also go south of the border with some bossa novas and sambas.
Food, Drinks and Live Music
Each guest’s boarding pass includes two complimentary drink tickets for use during the event. A cash bar will be available thereafter.
Enjoy scrumptiously prepared food by talented local chefs and live music by JC and The Backscratchers.
Brought together by their mutual love and respect for the “old school” blues sound, The Backscratchers move and groove through their songs with a deep reverence for its creators while also looking toward the future of the blues. With tunes ranging from traditional blues standards to modern classics and well-crafted originals, they will bring you out of your seat and onto the dance floor!
