The WinterFest Boogie Woogie Band is made up of the local dynamic jazz ensemble The Boptet, along with featured vocalists putting their unique spin on swinging holiday classics. Known for their infectious grooves, The Boptet answered the call when we searched for a band to play jazz and blues holiday songs with local vocalists! The Boptet is fronted by Wyatt Allen, with Edwin Parker, Dwayne Peters, Joel Stopka and Willis Greenstreet, and, featured on keyboards, Glenn Holmes.
Our featured vocalists this year: JoJo Stockton & Stuart Brown from Solacoustix Band; Becki Robertson from Becki and the Boom Booms; Terry Brown from The Ascension Project and The Kinds Band, and Hoppie Vaughan from Hoppie Vaughan and The Ministers of Soul. And Bob Casey will be joining in with Becki and Hoppie on a few tunes! More info here: https://historicgrandinvillage.com/news-events/winterfest-2024/#band
