Jazz Clarinetist Chuck Hedges and His Swingtet, October 02
Coming to the Bonifas October 16
In the true tradition of clarinet greats like Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, Chuck Hedges and his Swingtet travel the world playing all the major jazz festivals. Escanaba audiences will have an opportunity to see Hedges and his band perform in the Bonifas theater on Wednesday, October 16.

When Hedges is not globe trotting with his Swingtet, they perform in his home town of Milwaukee, WI at the Historic Red Mill and Selen’s Restaurants. It is not uncommon for this elder statesman of swing to have local musicians flock to his performances for sage advice, and the possible chance to swing in his presence.

Swinging along with Hedges at the Bonifas Arts Center will be Gary Meisner on piano, George Welland on Bass, Dave Sullivan on Guitar, and Andy LoDuca on Drums. Don’t miss your chance to see this jazz legend and help support the Arts Center! Doors open at 7:00 p.m. with the Concert starting at 7:30, tickets are $16 in advance or $18 at the door.
