SUMMARY:Thursdays on the Dock : Java Groove
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays on the Dock \nJava Groove \nThursday\, July 18th\, 2024 \n5:30 – 7:30 pm \n  \nThursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple for 15 years and is still the destination for waterfront music. Each Thursday evening in July and August\, bring a chair or blanket\, listen to a free concert\, and watch the sun go down over the river. \n  \nOur presenting sponsor Prive Swiss Wellness is always on hand offering free massages and giveaways. \n  \nFrom swing to Sinatra to Sting\, Java Groove is a small 4 piece band with a big sound. It all started in 2015 by the founding members of the swing band\, The Shiny Lapel Trio. When people ask what kind of music you play\, we tell them\, jazzy\, swingy\, ballady\, kinda stuff. The idea behind Java Groove is to have a stripped down swing band with the same effect and vibe of a horn section. \n  \nThe band consists of Dan Bernier on vocals and guitar\, James Alio on guitar\, Marc Iacobellis on bass guitar and Todd Fitting on drums. Todd\, James and Marc all went to middle school and high school together in Guilford\, playing in various bands together. Dan was one of the founding members of The Zingerz\, also playing swing music on the shoreline area. \n  \nIn case of inclement weather\, please check our site.
