Ecuador Manta, <br />based in St. Paul, started in 1992.

Members of the orchestra <br />are adults from all walks of life who share the common interest of <br />making music. <br /> <br />JULY 7 <br />Jazz on the Prairie Big Band – Jazz on the Prairie Big Band <br />is an 18 piece jazz orchestra, performing high energy, big band <br />classics from the 40s ‘Swing Era’, on up to modern arrangements <br />by the genre’s greatest writers. Their big sound and driving beat <br />will get toes tapping and bodies swaying! <br /> <br />JULY 14 <br />Shoreview Northern Lights Variety Band – From its <br />name, one can expect a “variety” of music from this band – <br />everything from baroque to the blues! Shoreview Northern Lights <br />Variety Band is under the direction of Dr. Michael Scott. The <br />band’s philosophy is that playing in an instrumental music <br />ensemble should be a rewarding, lifelong experience, and not one <br />that simply ends after graduation from school. <br /> <br /> <br />JULY 21 <br />Calhoun Isles Community Band – Although based in <br />Uptown, this group draws its members from all over the Twin <br />Cities metro area. Under the direction of Tedd Gullickson, one can <br />“set sail” for an evening of classical music, marches, show tunes, <br />jazz, and modern pieces. <br /> <br /> <br />JULY 28 <br />7 Cats Swing – The 7 Cats Swing entertains audiences with the <br />best jazz and swing standards from the 30s to the 80s, playing <br />familiar charts from George Gershwin, Glen Miller, Duke Ellington, <br />and Miles Davis to name a few, and includes traditional jazz, swing, <br />Latin, and blues. <br /> <br /> <br />AUGUST 4 <br />Dennis Warner in Concert – Folk/Americana singer and <br />songwriter. Blends humor, audience participation, and serious <br />music into a fun and memorable concert for adults and families. <br />Author of children’s book Beads on One String. His 10th CD Beep <br />Beep was released in 2015 and is his first album intended for <br />children. <br /> <br /> <br />AUGUST 11 <br />Everett Smithson Band – This band brings you music from up <br />and down the Mississippi. Zydeco (swamp rock), Tex-mex, blues, <br />and funky roots of all kinds. Every show is like a riverboat party <br />trip from Brainerd to the Bayou. New Orleans/French Quarter <br />music is what you will hear. Music from 1900 to the present time. <br /> <br />2
