MEADOW BROOK HALL & GARDENS PRESENT: SUMMER CONCERT SERIES — 2018

Swing into summer with Meadow Brook Hall’s summer concert series, featuring live music by local musicians.  Enjoy a relaxing and fun evening of conversation and light hors d’oeuvres, stroll the gardens, or take a self-guided tour of the main level of The Hall.

2018 MEADOW BROOK SUMMER CONCERT SERIES

All programs are Thursdays from 7:00pm – 9:30pm

July 12: Dave Bennett

A multi-instrument phenomenon, Dave Bennett is a self-taught clarinet virtuoso who plays electric guitar, piano, drums and vocalizes.  In addition to his own music, he covers music from the Swing Era to early Rockabilly and Country, to Elvis Presley, the Beatles and more.

August 2: Ben Sharkey

Perfectly fusing vintage old school cool and contemporary jazz, soul and pop energy and swagger, Ben Sharkey has enjoyed an extraordinary dual career over the past ten years.  The Michigan native has also become one of the Motor City’s premiere live entertainers, with hundreds of performances at jazz hotspots like Cliff Bell’s and a five year and counting residency at the Axis Lounge at the MGM Grand Detroit.

August 16: Kimmie Horne

As a descendant of the legendary songstress and actor Lena Horne, and niece of the late great singer/songwriter Cleveland Horne of the “Fantastic Four”, it is no surprise that Kimmie Horne’s talent transcends the boundaries of impeccable vocals alone.  Kimmie’s songs, “I Hope You Dance,” and special arrangement of “I Will Survive,” demonstrate the undoubted blend of her talent and sophistication.

THE SUMMER CONCERT SERIES FEATURES:

Hors d’oeuvres and a full cash bar

Self-guided main floor tour of The Hall (available until the first intermission)

Will occur rain or shine

Tickets are $35 per person.
