Festival, and the evening rounds out with the smooth jazz favorite Jonathan Butler.
Saturday’s show features all-time favorite Charlie Wilson. “Uncle Charlie” will continue to thrill
Festival patrons with hits like”There Goes My Baby”and”You Are.”Making only his second appearance

Festival favorite Kenny G will be making a return visit with his award-winning smooth jazz sax. Rounding out the Sunday afternoon concert will be smooth jazz guitarist Peter White.
