Description

Latin Essence Jazz Group Join us for our first outdoor summer Concert on the Green featuring Latin Essence Jazz Group. This dynamic group is comprised of some of the sassiest jazz players in the region who keep the room full of lively vibes. The band, featuring Ben Velazquez (bass), Chris Leigh (guitar), Miguel Rios (congas), Steve Marien (saxophone), Rufus Davis (piano), and Eric German (percussion), combines elements of traditional Latin music with an eclectic repertoire of jazz standards and pop/fusion classics. Please read the information below to understand what policies will be in place for the concert. Rain Date: If it looks like inclement weather on the day of the concert, we will make the call by noon and update our website event page, as well as send an e-mail to ticket holders. The rain date will be the next day on Saturday at 6 p.m. Parking: Parking in Stonington Borough in the summer can be a challenge. The free lot at Stonington Commons at 32 Water Street will be available until it is full. Residents of Stonington Borough are encouraged to walk. Additional tips can be found here. Seating: We will open for seating at 5 p.m., and you will need to check in at our registration table at the Northeast corner of the Green. We will have six-foot pods marked off on the lawn—up to four people can sit in each pod. Please bring your own lawn chairs or blankets, as none will be provided. The musicians will be at least 12’ away from the first row of seating. Masking: Masking will not be required except inside La Grua Center if you use the restrooms. Sanitizer: Sanitizer will be available at the registration table. Food and Drink: The Stonington Harbor Yacht Club will be selling beer and wine from their portable bar, along with snacks. Please feel free to bring your own food, but not your own liquor. Trash cans will be available on the perimeter of the green for your use. Restrooms: Two restrooms will be available inside La Grua Center. Our restrooms are now gender-neutral with only one person at a time (unless you are part of the same seating pod). Please wear your mask if you go inside. Running Time: Each concert will last approximately one hour, with no intermission.
