Sunday, March 4th, the Jerry Bresee Trio will perform at the Blue Moon Cafe.  Bresee is a singer and multi-instrumentalist who has lived all over the United States and been making music as far back as he can remember.  The son of a pianist, he started learning his way around the keyboard before starting school, and in his teens took up guitar. 

Since then, Bresee has played everything from jazz bass and orchestral brass to blues and folk guitar.  He’s performed in jazz combos, funk-driven horn bands, full orchestras and choirs.  He's given hundreds of solo performances and these days peforms with bassist Maria “Pete” Durgan and percussionist Kirby Yarbrough.   

Drawing from a rich musical background, Bresee selects and writes songs in a wide range of styles - from original swing and jazz-influenced pop to country-tinged folk, Appalachian ballads, covers from fellow songwriters, and even Soul and Motown.  He’s won numerous songwriting awards, been a showcase artist for C.F Martin Guitars, and is a four-time Washington Area Music Awards nominee. 

Admission for this show is $10/person at the door.  Doors open at 5:30pm, dinner is served from 6:00 to 7:00pm, and music starts at 7:00pm.  Dinner reservations, with seating at 5:30 and show to follow, may be made by calling the Blue Moon Cafe at 304-876-1920.

The Blue Moon Cafe is located on North Princess Street, at the corner of Princess and High in Shepherdstown WV.  For more information, contact Cheryl Mansley at 304-702-0554 or bluemoonsundays@....
