Vassar Clements Holiday Band DVD – Reminder

vassar clements

Farley Daniel wrote in and reminded us about the Vassar Clements Holiday Band DVD release party on October 14th at the Melting Point in Athens, GA.

A couple of guests have been included in the lineup for the evening’s performance. Fiddle player David Blackmon, with Blueground Undergrass, will be joining the band as will muscian, author and radio show host (Grateful Dead Hour), David Gans.

An opening act is also on the line up for the evening.

‘Buzz’ Clifford, a wonderful jazz/pop pianist who was a member with the band, ‘Spiral Starecase’ and worked for a time with James Brown. Buzz’s father had been an arranger for Irving Berlin and a banjo player in his big band before moving south from NYC.

This DVD release party is intended to be a celebration to Vassar, and it will also support the continuing efforts to help with public school music programming and Nuci’s Space in Athens.
