The Folk Project Presents Jazz, Good Times, and More
with Grover Kemble & the Jerry Vezza Trio
Master entertainer Grover Kemble and the Jerry Vezza Trio will perform at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series on Friday, Aug. 5, 2022, at 7:30 pm at the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, 21 Normandy Heights Road, Morris Township.
California singer-songwriter Arielle Silver will open.
Grover Kemble is a local legend. Since the ’70s, when his band Za Zu Zaz toured nationally, Grover, his guitar, and distinctive approach to jazz, Latin, and American standards have wowed his Morris County neighbors.
His guitar and vocal chops and consummate musicality are reinforced by a great sense of style, showmanship, and a rubber face that never fails to charm.
Accompanying Grover will be renowned local jazz pianist Jerry Vezza, Juilliard bassist Hal Slapin and versatile drummer John Vourtsis. This performance will include smooth jazz, originals, swing, Latin, and ballads.
Opener Arielle Silver is an articulate and well-traveled musical storyteller with a rich, expressive voice. She has been recognized in numerous songwriting contests and was a New Discovery in American Songwriter. Her 2020 recording, A Thousand Tiny Voices, was named a Top 10 Album by Americana Highways.
The event is part of The Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series, sponsored by The Folk Project each Friday evening at the Fellowship.
Admission is $10 per adult at the door. Children 5-12 are free. For further information, call 973-335-9489. The Folk Project website offers music samples of Troubadour performers here.
The Folk Project is New Jersey’s leading acoustic music and dance organization, and has been showcasing acoustic and traditional music in North Jersey for more than 45 years.
