Jumaane Smith

WHY YOU SHOULD COME:

This is a can’t miss performance from a world-class jazz musician. Jumaane was invited to the White House and toured with Michael Bublé and if that’s not reason enough for you to come out to the Woodstock Arts Event Green on a Saturday night, I don’t know what is!

If you enjoy the music of MICHAEL BUBLÉ, CENTRAL PARK QUARTET or HANS ULRIK this event is for you.
