The Hayesville town square will be the scene of another concert on Friday August 26. Lee Holland, jazz vocalist and composer, will sing with the Charles Milne combo. The concert will run from 7 to 9 pm. Bring your chairs and enjoy a fun-filled evening. The concert itself is free. However, donations are welcome.
If the weather is bad, the concert will move indoors to the Gathering Place room of the Hayesville First United Methodist Church right off the square. Take your chairs with you to the church.
Jazz vocalist Lee Holland is now a permanent resident of Hayesville but still performs in Palm Beach, Florida. She delights audiences with her stylized renditions of jazz favorites from Cole Porter to George Gershwin to Billie Holiday that showcase Ms. Holland’s impressive vocal range.
Accompanying Ms. Holland at the August 26 concert are Charles Milne on piano and Louis Ferkovics on drums. Milne, a resident of Warne, performs weekends with his Providence Jazz Trio at Café Portofino in Hiawassee. He also serves as Music Director at St. William Church in Murphy. Hungarian/French Canadian percussionist, Louie Ferkovics, a Murphy resident, has enjoyed an extensive career as a jazz drummer backing such musicians as pianist Dick Hyman and multi-instrumentalist Ira Sullivan. Since moving to North Carolina, he’s been a regular at the Grove Park Inn’s international jazz fest in Asheville.
The Clay County Communities Revitalization Association (CCCRA) is a sponsor of the Hayesville concert.
