Jazz in the City Visits Little Italy
Syracuse NY – The next stop for the Jazz in the City urban neighborhood concert series is Little Italy, celebrating the North Side and the opening gala of the Bleu Chick Restaurant at 317 North Salina Street. The BlackLites, the Rhythm and Blues powerhouse approaching a half century of touring Upstate New York, will perform an outdoor concert from 7:00 to 9:00 pm, and Ronnie Leigh will entertain inside the Bleu Chick before and after the concert, from 6:00 to 7:00 pm and 9:00 to 10:00 pm. The concert is free and open to the public.
“We’re on a roll, coming off our recent concert at the Regency Tower,” says Larry Luttinger, organizer of the series. “We drew over a thousand at that one, and plan on another blowout this Thursday. The BlackLites will have people up and dancing, for sure, and the Bleu Chick’s amazing Creole comfort food will be available for outdoor diners. Their Blackened Shrimp and Grits and Jerk Chicken are already making waves with local foodies.”
Convenient free parking in multiple surrounding locations has been arranged, at the nearby city lot on Pearl Street across the street from Columbus Bakery, and the African Market lot on North Salina, formerly Thanos Market.
Molina healthcare vendors and craft vendors will be present. Some seating is provided, but lawn chairs are suggested. No alcohol is served at Jazz in the City events, except in nearby restaurants. All details may be found at www.cnyjazzinthecity.org
