Wednesday, July 27th 7PM – Shepard Park, Summer Concert Series
Music virtuoso John Jorgenson, known for his blistering guitar licks and mastery of a broad musical palette, has earned a reputation as a world-class musician and guitarist who has collaborated with the likes of Elton John, Luciano Pavarotti, Bonnie Raitt and Bob Dylan. Currently touring as the John Jorgenson Quintet, Jorgenson creates a unique musical experience that equally enthralls the most discerning and the casual music fan. The group’s style has been called “gypsy jazz” after the dynamic string-driven swing created by Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli in 1930s Paris, but Jorgenson’s compositions draw in elements from Latin, Romanian, Classical, Rock and Greek music, so “21st Century World Music” is perhaps a more apt description.

Summer Concert Series, Wed. Aug. 10, 7PM Galactic Cowboy Orchestra - Video Preview Click Here!
Since 2009, the Minneapolis-based Galactic Cowboy Orchestra has stretched their own musical limits with album after album of intensely energetic ART-ROCK (A type of rock music, often with poetic lyrics, characterized by sophisticated harmonic, dynamic and technical complexity based on forms derived from classical (and jazz) music and requiring performers of considerable training and skill.) It sounds so serious, but when you combine that type of music with four fun-loving musicians (violin, bass, guitar, drums) who don’t take themselves too seriously and who have a love of so much music beyond art-rock, you get a bit of magic in live music form. The GCO appreciates and aspires to superior musicianship while combining their love of a good riff, hummable melody and groovy jam… over a jazz/jazz-rock musical bedrock.
Our restaurant, Giovanna’s On The Lake is open for the season with Breakfast Daily 7AM – 11AM. (Saturday, August 13 – Breakfast is 7AM-10AM).Lunch is served from our Cabana Bar and starts at 11AM. Dinner Service is 5PM – 9PM. Early Bird Menu 5PM-6PM (seated by 6PM).
