The Shadow
On Thursday, October 26, the Alleghany Highlands Arts Council will open its 2023-24 Performing Arts Series with the sensational band Good Shot Judy. Curtain time is 7:00 p.m. at the Historic Masonic Theatre, 510 Main Street in Clifton Forge.
Grounded in the swinging cadence of the big band era, Good Shot Judy boldly ventures wherever whimsy leads them. This big amp jazz band brings melodic muscle to every show from this golden age of music.
With a variety of tunes like “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “At Last,” ”The Way You Look Tonight,” “New York, New York,” “Night And Day,” “Stray Cat Strut,” “Beyond the Sea,” “Fly Me To the Moon,” “King of the Road”, “Mack the Knife” and much more this highly charged group of one dozen outstanding musicians offers favorite tunes from growing up in America. But the most significant part of the band’s allure is their electric execution, which carries a vigor that infuses FUN into everyone in the audience.
Band members include brothers Brett and Jeff Cahoon, Brandon Musko, Chelsea Camp, Carl Lundgren, Paul Todd, Kasey Watkins, Charlie Frise, Alex “Milkshake” Parker, Chris Ward, Mark Oates, and Scott Helwig.
The Arts Council charges $20 for general admission. Tickets can be purchased online by choosing the Good Shot Judy link on their website, Arts4AllAlleghanyHighlands.
