Updated Description text from Tom Roberts:
"The Jelly Rollers, named in honor of Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton (1890-1941) of New Orleans, is a local Dixieland Band with instrumentation of clarinet, two trumpets, trombone, tuba, and piano. It is based out of Westfield, and began after clarinetist John Boyer purchased a Dixieland book of arranged compositions by composers of the day, including “Jelly Roll Morton, Scott Joplin, and Joseph “King” Oliver, with classic tunes like “When the Saints Go Marching In.” Our repertoire has since been significantly enlarged by arrangements customized for us by Tipton composer Charles Rose.
The original members, most of whom were members of the Zionsville Concert Band, were John Boyer, Bob Whitehead, David Hinshaw, Steve Turner, and Brent Prior, later adding pianist Tom Roberts. Mike Dollens replaced Bob Whitehead after Bob moved his family to their Cape Cod residence at Harwich, MA. Current members live at Sheridan, Zionsville, Westfield, Tipton, Peru, and Kokomo. Recent performance venues include county fairs, church dinners, private holiday & special occasion events, and retirement homes in Westfield and Muncie. The porch of an historic log cabin affords us a delightful new venue!
Our roster for the Westfield-Washington Historical Society event is:
John Boyer, clarinet
Mike McLaughlin, tenor sax
David Hinshaw, trumpet
Steve Turner, trombone
Brent Prior, sousaphone
Tom Roberts, piano (Both Tom and John Boyer's wife, Susan, are WWHS Board members.)"

This is a free event, but of course we always encourage supporting the local Indiana musicians and any donations to the Historical Society are always welcome too! Bring your own lawn chairs. If the weather is inclement we will instead have the performance inside the City Hall Assembly room right next door at 130 Penn Street!
