Wear your dancing shoes, and experience this exciting band on State Street during the arts-filled Bastille Day celebration.

Cool Jazz for a Hot Night

The M.A.C. Summer Solstice party will feature jazz guitarist Tony Hughes, who "has been praised for his artistic approach to the guitar. Masterful chord melody technique comes together with a sophisticated yet accessible style that is truly his own."
