SUMMARY:The Fabulous Nightlife Boogie At The Bar(n) At Sonark Farms
DESCRIPTION:Get ready for a night of rhythm\, soul\, and swing as The Fabulous Nightlife Boogie takes the stage — a powerhouse ensemble bringing the jumpin’ sounds of 1940s–1960s and beyond to the modern day. This isn’t a cover band or an oldies act — it’s a love letter to the golden age of nightlife\, reimagined for today. \nFeaturing the deep groove of Ian Finlay on bass and vocals\, the fiery fretwork of Lenny Terenzi on guitar and vocals\, and the smoky stylings of Josh Brinkman on tenor and bari sax\, this group doesn’t just play the music — they live it. Holding it all together is Andrew Stark on drums\, laying down that irresistible swing beat\, while Dave Mozier brings the soul on piano\, B3 organ\, and vocals. \nFrom jump blues to jive\, rock ‘n’ roll to straight-ahead swing — and even a smooth detour into Blue Note-era jazz — this band brings it all with energy and style. \nThe Bar(n) opens at 6PM — come early to get a good seat and enjoy a Belgian beer\, wine\, craft cocktail or NA selection. \nTICKETS: $10 | $15 At The Door \nPURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE: https://www.sonarkfarms.com/event-details/the-fabulous-night-life-boogie \nThe Fabulous Nightlife Boogie\nSat\, Nov 22\, 8PM – 10PM\nThe Bar(n) At Sonark Farms\nTickets: $10 |$15 Door \nPURCHASE TICKETS ONLINE AT: https://www.sonarkfarms.com/event-details/the-fabulous-nightlife-boogie \nwww.sonarkfarms.com
