Meramec Riverside Lodge & Retreat - Cuba, Crawford

Sunday Jazz Se5ries July 19th · Hosted by Meramec Riverside Lodge & Retreat and Miss Jubilee & The Yas Yas Boys

Join us for an appetizer bar, live music and dancing! We are thrilled to have Miss Jubilee and her YAS YAS Boys play at the lodge! Based in St. Louis, MO, Miss Jubilee and her YAS YAS Boys play an energetic blend of low-down blues, hokum, and hot jazz from the 1920s and 30s. Their one-of-kind repertoire draws heavily from the female blues singers who helped define the genre. From Bessie Smith and Victoria Spivey, to the more obscure Merline Johnson and Lil’ Johnson, Miss Jubilee revives this music with a joy and effortless authenticity. Led by the powerhouse vocalist Valerie Kirchhoff, the band is fueled by barrelhouse pianist Ethan Leinwand, bassist Richard Tralles, and a gutbucket horn section led by Kenneth Cebrian (trumpet). Since she founded the band in 2007, Miss Jubilee’s reputation has grown to make her one of the most sought after and recognizable singers in St. Louis and the greater region. The band has performed throughout the country, and are a fixture at local festivals and summer concert series. You will be amazed by how this style of music brings the walls of this historic lodge to life! We offer an Appetizer Buffet option prior to the performance, which can be enjoyed inside or on the deck overlooking the serene Meramec River. This buffet will feature many delectable goodies, menu to be determined. Feel free to contact us with any questions. We look forward to having you at the Lodge!
