Cynthia Layne

To Perform Riverfront Headline Jazz Concert

Midwesterner Cynthia Layne currently lives in Indianapolis, where she has developed quite a following. She has loved live music since the moment she attended her first concert at the tender age of seven. Since then, live music has become a regular part of her life with both the general public and media impressed by her performances. Now she is poised for national attention with the release of Beautiful Soul, an album showcasing her vocal stylings in both the R&B and jazz arenas.

Layne, who has been performing for about 15 years, plans to tour the Midwest this winter with her band.

 

The Kenny Kent Lexus Jazz, Wine & Arts Festival is a production of the
Downtown Division of the Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville (GAGE)

EVENT OVERVIEW

Entering into its second year, the 2009 Evansville Jazz, Wine, and Arts Festival will feature the smooth sounds of jazz, delectable wines from the region’s top vintners, and a wide variety of local art. The one-day celebration will showcase non-stop entertainment and art in the heart of Evansville’s Downtown district.

JAZZ

As part of the festivities, a refreshing blend of music with a focus on jazz will be heard throughout the downtown. The event will feature a balanced mixture of established artists and emerging talent throughout the day and will conclude with a concert along the riverfront. The GAGE staff will partner with local jazz enthusiasts, musicians, and local university programs to kick off the 2nd annual Evansville Jazz, Wine & Arts Festival.

WINE

The festival’s wine area will offer grand wine-tastings, demonstrations and food booths that promise to delight the connoisseur’s palette. Specialists in wine, health and wine/food pairing will offer a variety of hands-on seminars for patrons throughout the festival. The event will introduce guests to internationally award-winning wines and will offer the chance to meet with vintners and sommeliers to learn more about the art of winemaking.

ART

Working closely with the Arts Council of Southwest Indiana, the art portion of the festival will feature open air art showcasing paintings, sculptures, and much more from local Tri-State artists. In terms of visual expression, the festival will encompass the canvas. Patrons are encouraged to peruse the area and buy from their favorite local artists along the way.
