If you missed them at the Morristown Jazz & Blues Festival, here’s your second chance.

And if you saw Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses, you can re-live the excitement.

This high-energy, hard-driving combo is coming to the College of Saint Elizabeth in Morris Township on Wednesday, July 10, 2019.

The New Orleans-based band is best known for its blend of original music and the classic hits of Louis Prima Sr., including Jump Jive an’ Wail, Just a Gigolo, I Wanna Be Like You, Angelina, and Sing Sing Sing.

Introduced to local fans at the 2016 Morristown Jazz & Blues Festival, Louis Prima Jr. has made New Jersey an annual stop on his summer tour. This concert has been made possible thanks to the support of the Gia Maione Prima Foundation and the law firm of Sherman Wells Sylvester & Stamelman LLP.

“We try to make every show different,” explained Prima, “so that our regular fans have a different show each time they come. But no matter what we do, everyone always has a lot of fun!”

Sponsors also include Hullarious Productions, the New Jersey Jazz Society, Hot House Jazz Magazine, NJ Jazz List, and NJ Arts.

Louis Prima Jr. takes the stage at 7:30 in Dolan Hall at the Annunciation Center on the campus of the College of Saint Elizabeth, at 2 Convent Road. The venue is fully accessible with elevators, free parking and comfortable seats.

Food trucks will be open on site starting at 5:30 for picnics. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door. For tickets and more information, go to www.lksarts.org.
