This concert will honor NCCU Alum, Grady Tate.  Earlier in the afternoon, there will be music and percussion-centered workshops starting at 2 p.m., followed by a silent auction starting at 5 p.m. Auction winners will be announced before the final group performs in the evening concert.

THE SHED TONIGHT SHAQUIM, AUTUMN (& RAINA, ??)

Comments below from THE SHED

Saxophonist Shaquim Muldrow commands the stage with a classic tenor sound and a musical sensitivity beyond his years. Equally at home playing ballads or uptempo swing, he is gaining prominence as one of the young musicians responsible for the revival of jazz and swing music in the Triangle. Joined at the SHED by vocalist Autumn Rainey, pianist Andrew Berinson, bassist Gen Palmer, and drummer Theous Jones, this will be an evening of jazz sure to please the most discerning of ears. First set 8 PM, second set around 9:30. $7 cover or $5 w/ student ID

MY TAKE  - THIS SHOULD BE "NICE!"  ED
