This
concert features Sweet Lime & Passion, one of the capital
region's premier arts and education groups. Trio members David
Boothman, Major Boyd and Elizabeth Melvin offer audiences a "Caribbean
cornucopia" of musical styles, including calypso reggae, soca and zouk
(French Caribbean dance music). Boothman, celebrated
visionary
artist/ musician from Trinidad, has been involved in the arts for the
past forty years. Boothman comes from a multi-talented family of
artists. His brothers Michael and Roger are also fine artists and
musicians. 
The
members of the Sixth Generation, which was recently inducted
into the Michigan Rock & Roll Legends hall of fame, will
present
their brand of music. The Sixth Generation captivates audiences with
good music and high energy performances. Fans are
as
excited now to see and hear them as they were 40 years
ago.
The Sixth Generation produces good shows not only because the members
are all very good musicians, but also because they have been good
friends since the 1960s when they first started performing together.
Their long friendship adds a dimension to their performances that is
unparalleled among bands of their genre. 
Always
a favorite with the summer concert audience is the Bayside Big
Band. Originally formed in 1982, the Bayside Big Band now
consists of 17 professional and semi-professional musicians and
vocalists and performs regularly throughout the Washington-Baltimore
area. The Band strives to maintain the big band sound by playing the
music of famous big bands from the 1930's to the present day.
This
concert features J.R. BOOKER, one of the Maryland-Virginia area's
favorite Country bands. Known for its "good-time energy" and powerful
harmonies, its repertoire features original music as well as the
classic country of Hank Williams Sr. and the rock-edged sounds of Big
and Rich. J.R. BOOKER performs all venues large and small, and every
show delivers the best country music with the finest spirit of the Red,
White and Blue.
