Jazz and Blues Fest to Benefit Autism Speaks is August 16 at Simsbury Meadows

The forecast is mostly sunny and H-O-T for Blue Plate Radio’s Jazz ‘N’ Blue Festival Benefiting Autism Speaks on August 16 at the Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center in Simsbury, CT and why not?

Blue Plate Radio has assembled three of the HOTTEST bands around for its jazz concert with a purpose!
Doug Jones is hittin’ the airwaves with a brand new single, “Almost Summer,” which is sure to top the charts and which he’ll preview at the festival! His highly-rated CD, “Top Down,” will be on sale and Doug will be signing copies.

New Haven jazz legends Airborne have a new CD, “Silver,” that celebrates their 25 years in the business and “Silver” has already generated THREE charting singles. We expect their fourth, “Time Machine,” to be at least in the Top 5! “Time Machine” is guaranteed to be on Airborme’s Jazz ‘N’ Blue setlist too!

Do you feel the HEAT yet? Well get ready for more with our featured act, Down to the Bone!

The idea for junk/funk/soul phenoms Down to the Bone sprang from the mind of British DJ Stuart Wade in 1995 who wanted original tracks and a live feel to replace the canned house grooves that he’d been playing. Nearly 20 years later, it’s safe to say that Wade’s idea far exceeded his wildest dreams.

Down to the Bone‘s #1 smash single, “The Sweetness,” is still holding strong in Billboard’s Smooth Jazz Top 10! Of course the ONLY place that you’ll hear “The Sweetness” LIVE in Connecticut AND get a signed copy of their latest CD, “Dig It,” is at the Jazz ‘N’ Blue Festival Benefiting Autism Speaks on August 16 at the Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center in Simsbury, CT!
