On Sunday, July 14th at 4 pm accoustic jazz quartet Lewis Franco and the Missing Cats (Dono Schabner on guitar and vocals, Will Patton on bass and vocals, and Susannah Blachly on fiddle and vocals) will perform as part of the Music Under The Steeples Series at the Old West Church in Calais. They do originals as well as gypsy swing and jive swing tunes from the 1930's and 40's, featuring close 3-part vocal rhythm harmonies and thrilling improvisation. According to Dan Bolles of SevenDaysVT, "Precious few hepcatamounts swing like Lewis Franco. The central Vermont guitarist, songwriter, and bandleader has almost single-handedly kept the jump and jive alive in the Green Mountains, wailing away with swagger and unimpeachable cool for nearly two decades." Suggested donation $10-$15. For more info. email susblachly@hotmail.com.
