St. Peter's Concert Series

In the late 1990’s there was a resurgence of interest in Big Band and Swing music. Groups like The Brian Setzer Orchestra and Cherry Poppin’ Daddies had hits on the pop charts. Many of the Big Bands were finding it increasingly difficult to book jobs as their primary audience was less likely to want to drive after dark. Understanding this trend, a group of friends who had played music together in the 1980’s and 90’s decided that there might be interest in hearing this music without having to coordinate the logistics of a 17 piece big band. “Jazz Me Baby” was born as an opportunity for them to just enjoy playing music together. In the entirety of this group’s existence, they have never played a “formal concert.” This group has always provided the background music as you have eaten your lunch, enjoyed a birthday, anniversary or wedding reception, a Christmas party, a hog roast, the 4-H fair or the farmer’s market. At this concert, they are inviting you to come along as they play familiar jazz standards that maybe you have not heard for a while. “Jazz Me Baby” has just concluded their residency at the Columbus Farmer’s Market.

Members include Keith Burton on trumpet, Scott Hobson on saxophone, Brad Schrock on trombone, Mark Echard on bass, Tom Lego on drums, and Lindsey Fugill on keys. This concert is free and takes place in the St. Peter’s Sanctuary.

St. Peter’s is proud to present this concert through the support of all of our patrons and sponsors, especially our Platinum Sponsors, Rusty and Holly Downey at Carpenter Realtors.
