"Benjamin and his orchestra filled the second half of the evening with lilting, humorous, and even elegant readings of ragtime numbers, a W.C. Handy blues song, and even a Sousa march…Popular music, A.D. 1900, is still going strong."

September 25 – Moscow, Idaho

Musical Direction by Rick Benjamin. ONE SHOW ONLY!
