Pack your picnic basket, grab your blanket and chairs, and chill your favorite beverages and head over for a special Courtyard Concert at Glessner House, part of our 2024 jazz series.
One of Chicago’s most recognized voices, Wayne Messmer steps away from his role as a premier singer of the National Anthem to bring The Wayne Messmer Quartet featuring celebrated pianist Chris White, David Katz on trumpet/flugelhorn, and Scott Mason on bass.
A fixture on the Chicago sports scene, most notably, with the Chicago Cubs, and Chicago Wolves, and formerly the Chicago Blackhawks, Wayne Messmer, a native Chicagoan, recording artist and lifelong musician, shares an entertaining mixture of jazz, cabaret, Broadway, pop and standards. As a classic crooner, he is adept at handling a wide variety of music, including his favorite musical era of tunes from Great American Songbook with ease.
His book, The Voice Of Victory and his CD Release, So Lucky To Be Loving You with pianist Judy Roberts have been critically acclaimed. The Wayne Messmer Radio Show is heard Sunday nights from 7:00-8:00pm on Chicago’s Jazz Station, 90.9FM/WDCB.org
Doors open at 5:30pm, concert begins at 6:00pm. The music will be performed in two sets and will conclude by 8:00pm. Seating is not provided. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be moved into our coach house.
Please note that dogs are not allowed at the concerts.
Our Courtyard Concert series is generously underwritten by a grant from Lakeside Bank.
