Pinnacle Ridge gears up for its Summer Concert Series

SUMMER CONCERT SERIES
            
Our first concert series event at Pinnacle Ridge has finally arrived! With temps on the rise, we all need a chance to cool off with a chilled glass of wine (or a few!) and enjoy the sweet summer air with some blues.

On June 16, The James Supra Blues Band will be performing live in our barn.  James Supra has been performing the blues in the United States for the past 25 years. He has performed with many other talented musicians such as BB King, Ronnie Baker Brooks, Mike Dugan, and many more. He has also been the winner of the Lehigh Valley Music Awards for best harmonica player the past 11 years in a row. Suavek, the bassist, was awarded best bass guitar player in 2006, 2008, and 2009. Drummer, Al Wanamaker, has opened for Blues artists Michael Burkes, Debbie Davies, and Mike Dugan. Dana Gaynor is the guitarist and a back up vocalist. She is an exceptional entertainer who is recognized internationally. Dana has performed with members of the Grateful Dead, Muddy Waters, and The John Lee Hooker Band.

Find out more about The James Supra Blues Band and all of their achievements at www.jamessuprabluesband.com.

Our first concert series event also falls on Father's Day weekend.  Bring your Dads!  What could be a better way  to spend some quality, relaxing time with your dad than sipping on your favorite wine and jammin' to the blues? The event runs from 2 - 5 pm.  There are 50 seats available in the barn so be sure to come early and snag  a spot close to the stage.

Wine and food will be available for purchase. Chef Ben Underwood is preparing smoked pork barbeque and side dishes. If you enjoyed Ben's food from LVWT's March Madness event, you'll love what he's cookin' for our summer concert series. Once a month this summer we will have live music performances.
