Stepping Out

Join the Edmonds Arts Commission for another of this summer’s Concerts in the Park series, for a FREE performance by Hot Club Sandwich of hot Gypsy jazz, on Sunday, August 8, at 3 p.m.

All concerts are held in Edmonds City Park located at 3rd and Pine in downtown Edmonds. Bring the family, lawn chairs or blanket for some great music and family entertainment.

Hot Club Sandwich brings its unique character to the acoustic swing and Gypsy jazz pioneered by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli’s Quintet of the Hot Club in France.

Adding original compositions, light hearted vocal numbers, clever arrangements and elements of Latin American acoustic music, HCS creates its own voice.

Collectively and individually, Hot Club Sandwich draws from a diverse musical background encompassing many parts of the acoustic music globe.

The band’s members are Ray Wood, guitar; Kevin Connor, guitar, vocals, and Cuban Tres guitar; Greg Ruby, guitar; James Schneider, upright bass, banjo and guitar; Matt Sircely, mandolin; and Tim Wetmiller, violin.

This year’s Summer Concerts in the Park series is generously sponsored by Lynnwood Honda and Acura of Lynnwood. 

Concerts are presented by the Edmonds Arts Commission on behalf of the Edmonds City Council and are accessible to persons with disabilities.

In the event of rain, the concert will be cancelled at 2:30.  The next Concert in the Park is August 15 and features the African rhythms of Juba Marimba.
