John Raymond returns from New York City for a special night of jazz featuring an all-star, UW-Eau Claire alumni-filled band with: John Raymond on Trumpet, Vinnie Rose on guitar, Scott Currier on piano, Jeremy Boettcher on bass, and Miguel Hurtado on drums.

Drawing primarily from the jazz tradition, the JRP infuses both pop and rock influences to create a sound that is both relevant and highly emotionally engaging. The group has performed to sold-out audiences at Smalls Jazz Club in NYC, as well as the Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis, and they've performed at festivals and venues throughout the country. This event is a CD pre-release party for Raymond's new album, "Strength & Song" — you won't want to miss it.

 $5 cover — but for only $5 more you'll receive a free digital download copy of the album — release only to you four months before the official release!

The entrance is to the right of the theater,

around the right side of the building.
