CLARKSVILLE, TN –In an annual tradition with a nod to yesteryear, the Cumberland Winds Jazz Project is teaming with Clarksville’s oldest professional live theatre this fall to recreate an old-time radio show from the 1940s.
Traditional big band music will combine with radio skits, vintage advertisements, and maybe a war newsflash or two at the Cumberland Winds Jazz Project: 1940s Radio Days at the Roxy Regional Theatre on Friday, November 17, and Saturday, November 18, at 7:00pm.
In the intimate setting of the Roxy Regional Theatre, The Jazz Project will present music from the popular big bands of the 1940s, including Glenn Miller, Les Brown, Gene Krupa and Count Basie. The evenings’ featured vocalist will be Sarah Queen, singing such all-time favorites such as “S’ Wonderful,” “As Time Goes By,” “Stompin’ at the Savoy,” and “Beyond the Sea.”
Tickets are $20 and may be reserved online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at (931) 645-7699, or at the theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to the performance).
