Karl Latham jazz benefit at Michael Anthony's

June 28, 7-11pm, Michael Anthony's restaurant
 
Manhattan-based Jazz drummer Karl Latham will lead his band in a tribute to jazz guitar legend Wes Montgomery to benefit Habitat for Humanity of Hudson County at Michael Anthony’s Restaurant, on the waterfront in Jersey City, Thursday, June 28, 2012. The show will also fe...ature Jordan Piper, a local pianist and composer, who will lead his own band to start the evening off. And, Jack Silbert, sporting his incredibly stylish red jacket, will emcee the event.

Doors will open at 7pm, with the first performance starting at 8:00pm – so there will be plenty of time to relax and catch dinner ahead of the show. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 the day of the show (there will be a limited number of tickets available at $20 until May 26), and there will be a cash bar. All proceeds will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Hudson County. This show is produced and marketed by Unpainted Emporium Productions, LLC, a company that supports the arts by producing live performance events throughout Hudson County
