FRI. DEC 19 - THE CYPRESS CREEK JAZZ BAND PRESENTS ALL THAT CHRISTMAS JAZZ AT THE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF SUN CITY CENTER
7:00 p.m. at The United Methodist Church of Sun City Center where we welcome the Cypress Creek Jazz Band to our beautiful sanctuary at 1971 Haverford Avenue, SCC. The Cypress Creek Jazz band is a group of local musicians with strong roots in the Tampa music scene. They perform a New Orleans's style jazz, joyful Dixieland jazz, Spiritual Dixieland Hymns and Old-time gospel. This concert will feature their “All That Christmas Jazz” recording project. They have performed together for over 7 years all over the Tampa area at venues like the Straz Center, Carrollwood Cultural Center, Dade City Kumquat Festival as well as many others. They also have played at corporate events, festivals, weddings, Madri Gras, and community events. But what keeps this group together is their love for the early jazz music of New Orleans Dixieland. “Arguably the happiest of all music is Dixieland jazz. The sound of several horns all improvising together on fairly simple chord changes with definite roles for each instrument but a large amount of freedom, cannot help but sound consistently joyful.” – Scott Yanow. Don’t miss this toe-tapping twist to many of the familiar Christmas songs you all love during this special season.

Sharon Owens and Robbie Howard take the stage as Barbra Streisand and Frank Sinatra in this tribute to the vocal powerhouses who gave us the iconic hits such as “People”, “My Way”, “The Way Were Were”, “New York New York” and so many more. These two legends never shared the same stage until now. Join us for this magnificent performance to relive some of the greatest music ever written. Today, Sharon Owens and Robbie Howard captivate audiences world-wide with their originally self-produced Las Vegas show that brings laughter, tears and joy to every person watching. Robbie’s crooning sounds of Sinatra bring “memories” to an audience who remember the late great “ol’ blue eyes” himself.
