Gate House Café Summer Concerts To Begin With Eight To The Bar

SOUTHBURY — Gate House Café will open its 2010 summer concert series with a performance by Eight to the Bar, a six-member group that draws its musical influences from American roots music, on Tuesday, June 15. The outdoor concert will run from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at Gate House Café, on Route 172 on the rolling front lawn of Southbury Training School.

In case of bad weather the concert will be held under a nearby pavilion (directional signs will be posted).

Drawing its musical influences from swing, boogie woogie, rhythm & blues, soul and Motown, Eight to the Bar is known for its outstanding instrumentalists and sophisticated musical and vocal arrangements, highlighted by female vocals. With the support of independently-produced albums and videos, Eight to the Bar has cultivated a large, enthusiastic following that has put them in clubs from Disneyland to Disney World as well as Europe and the Caribbean.

Their rigorous performing schedule (approximately 200 dates per year), has included opening spots for Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Manhattan Transfer, Robert Cray, Neil Young, Roy Orbison, and Ray Charles.

Band members are founder and leader Cynthia Lyon on keyboards and vocals, Collin Tilton on tenor and alto saxophones, Brinna Jones on vocals and percussion, Tom Whalen  on guitar and vocals, Shawn Meehan on drums and percussion, and Michael Corsini on bass Guitar and vocals.
