Noah Peterson, Friday, July 28, 7-10 p.m.
Peterson will be playing "good-for-your-soul" music, using a little bit of technology to turn him and his saxophone into a good-time party for everybody. Expect a mix of jazz, blues, funk, reggae, African, Louisiana blues, R&B, Latin, tropical grooves and more.
