Live Music
Live Acoustic Music on Saturday,
Acoustic Jazz trio Burgess, Mitchell & Seal perform a wide variety of music, the hits of Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole, the jazz of Duke, Count, Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Miles and Trane, the blues of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, the rock and roll of Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino, and Burgess's own tunes. The three musicians like to play weddings, festivals, and special events and are big favorites with restaurant and nightclub audiences. Since 2001, they have hosted the Sunday Jazz Workshop at the Bullfrog Brewery in Williamsport, PA, and in 2003 performed as headliners at the Billtown Blues Festival in Hughesville, PA. The trio has appeared in concerts with the Bloomsburg University Symphony Orchestra, at special events at Susquehanna and Bucknell Universities and Keuka College, and has done educational performances for the Brown Library of Williamsport.
Musician and Poet Lester Hirsh hangs his hat in Shenandoah, PA but moves like a troubador across the states (even continents) playing music and singing his poetry. Lester was a finalist at the Napa Valley Emerging Songwriter Contest in 1997, a 2005 Grammy Award nominee for Best Spoken Word recording. He has recorded 7 CD's including two spoken word CDs. Besides his solo ramblings, Lester has performed in a variety of ensembles over the past 30 years ‚ folk trio Side Three, Tampa, Florida, folk/pop trio Jerusalem, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and duo Sweet River, Concord, New Hampshire.
