Jazz on the Lawn - Nate Birkey August 19, 2007

August in Santa Monica is the perfect time of year for lazing in the sun or relaxing in the shade. Repeating last year’s successful FREE summer concert series, the City’s Cultural Affairs Division will make it possible to do both while experiencing a sensational musical encounter by the sea.

Nate Birkey takes the stage on August 19th. His subtle vocals and trumpet stylings mixed with his creative melodies and his vivid charisma bring to life a sound that is perfectly poised and self-assured. Audiences will savor his forays into Americana, Gospel, Bossa Nova, and straight-ahead jazz as heard on his most recent live CD, Shortest Day.

Bring your friends, your family and a picnic dinner to this series of free outdoor concerts where you can spread a blanket on the grass, stretch out in your lawn chair and doze in the shade of your own beach umbrella and enjoy the coolest breezes and hottest sounds in all of LA.
