The Grant County Community Concert Association presents Good Shot Judy on Thursday, October 24th in the WNMU Fine Arts Theater at 7 PM.
How do you create a show that tickles your memory and makes you want to stand up and dance? You take talent, family, and love of a genre that brings a big sound and spectacle to the stage.
Good Shot Judy was started by brothers Brett and Jeff Cahoon as they stepped away from their successful punk band Ten Years from Now and followed another interest in old-time jazz standards. Starting with a small combo they found the music needed more and filled out Good Shot Judy with a full complement of horns, percussion and voice.
Come and enjoy a big amp jazz band that has one-foot dancing in the past and one in the here and now.
