FRY DADDY TAKES TO THE STAGE AT
JACKSON GORE OUTDOOR MUSIC SERIES JULY 31
LUDLOW, Vt. - The Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series continues Friday, July 31, with Fry Daddy and a foot stomping, heart thumping stew of soul, rhythm and blues, and Latin beats.
The Band Fry Daddy, led by singer/songwriter Carlos Ocasio, has been performing in the Upper Valley for ten years. This is the band for people who like to dance the night away. Joining Carlos will be Wally Wysk on lead guitar, John Ducarme on drums and vocals, and Rich Thomas on bass and vocals.
On Friday nights throughout the summer season, the lawn in the courtyard at Okemo's Jackson Gore Inn is transformed into an outdoor concert venue featuring renowned local and regional entertainers. Admission to the Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series is free. The grounds open at 5 p.m. and concerts are slated to run from 6 to 9 p.m. Families are welcome and all attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or picnic blankets. Summertime barbecue favorites and refreshments are available each week and concert-goers may also dine at Jackson Gore's Coleman Brook Tavern. New this year, Coleman Brook diners may enjoy al fresco table service.
Following Fry Daddy, the summer lineup for the Jackson Gore Outdoor Music Series includes:, Roots of Creation, Aug. 7; Dr. Burma, Aug. 14; Boston Horns, Aug. 21; The New Groove Orchestra, Aug. 28; Buzz Universe, Sept. 4.
