Jazz performance Thursday night at Lakeside Park

MAYVILLE – On Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., the smooth sounds of songwriter and jazz crooner Barbara Jean will fill Lakeside Park, located on the shores of Chautauqua Lake along Route 394 in the village of Mayville.

Barbara Jean has been performing for many years, having performed with the original country-rock group Gotham Rose, but since 2000 she has been singing jazz and traditional pop. She has performed with groups such as The Harold Olson Orchestra, Razz and Friends, Jazz Train, and Satin Doll.

In 2008 she recorded her own songs in her debut CD “Sweet.” Her performances include songs of upbeat lyrics as well as features 4-piece instrumentals. She has performed at this concert series in the past with jazz bands Razz and Friends, Jazz Train, and her own band.

These free performances are brought to you through the generous sponsorship of the village of Mayville and town of Chautauqua. Remember to bring your own seating for the outside concerts.

Rainbow the Clown (Jerry Stimson) will be on hand to entertain the children with face painting and balloon sculptures. In case of rain, the performance will be held at the Carlson Community Center, also located at Lakeside Park.

A 50/50 drawing will take place at each of the concerts this summer benefiting concert series organizer Mayville/Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce and its work in the community.

The Maple Springs Fire Department will be selling BBQ dinners at the performance benefiting their fire department. The Mayville Fire Department will also be on hand to offer popcorn and water on a donation basis to the audience for the benefit of their fire department.

More information about the Entertainment in the Park summer concert series or the Mayville/Chautauqua area can be obtained by calling the Mayville/Chautauqua Community Chamber of Commerce at 753-3113 or going to the web site at www.mayvillechautauqua.org.

This is the last concert of the 2016 Entertainment in the Park Summer Concert Series. This music series will be back again next summer for the 2017 concert series with more talented performers and bands.
