Join acclaimed jazz vocalist Mickey Freeman for an unforgettable afternoon of swing, bebop, and timeless standards. She will be joined by an exceptional ensemble with John Simon on piano, Gene Bruno on saxophone, Joe Lopez on bass, and Claudio Berardi on drums.
A dynamic, self-taught vocalist, Mickey began her professional career in Boston in 1980 as a member of the spirited 1930s/’40s swing ensemble The Boo-Bette Band, touring throughout New England.
In 1982, she co-founded the jazz vocal group The Ritz, inspired by the sophisticated harmonies of The Manhattan Transfer and Lambert, Hendricks & Ross.

The collaboration sparked the recording of Mickey’s solo album, Livin’ the Dream, produced by Robillard for Blue Duchess Records and featuring guest appearances by Robillard and saxophonist Scott Hamilton. For the next eight years, Mickey led jazz trios and quartets throughout New Jersey.
Since relocating to Vero Beach, Florida in 2018, Mickey has become a vibrant presence on the local music scene, performing regularly at The Grind & Grape Café, Costa d’Este Hotel, Cobalt at Vero Beach Hotel, Vero Beach Country Club, and Vero Beach Yacht Club.

RON PIRTLE & FRIENDS
(Click on this description to see all details).
Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of live jazz featuring “one of the most sought-after bassists in Brevard County,” according to Florida Today.
Ron's band will include John Simon on piano, Paul Polanski on sax, Richie Mola on drums.
Ron Pirtle’s musical journey began at age 12, when his parents placed an electric bass guitar in his hands. Growing up an Ohio farm boy, Ron teamed up with his brother—who played lead guitar—and together they formed a rock and roll band. His natural talent and dedication quickly made him a first-call bassist, performing throughout Ohio and neighboring Pennsylvania.
Ron’s musical path took a defining turn when he began working with a seasoned blues pianist. It was then that he discovered blues and jazz—and found his true voice on the upright acoustic bass. From that moment on, he devoted himself to mastering this great American art form.
After marrying his high school sweetheart, Joyce, Ron moved to Florida in the 1980s, where he became a dynamic force in the Space Coast jazz scene. Today, he remains one of Central Florida’s most in-demand upright bassists—the musician other bandleaders call when they want depth, groove, and authenticity.
Ron leads his own ensemble, the Ron Pirtle Quintet, and has recorded the acclaimed CD Gettin’ in the Groove. He performs regularly at local venues and can be heard throughout Central Florida, bringing warmth, swing, and soul to every stage.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience a master musician up close—an afternoon of rich rhythms, smooth grooves, and timeless jazz.
General admission is paid at the door. $30 for members of the Jazz Society and Brevard Veterans Memorial Center. $35 for guests and students are FREE. Bring your own food and drinks, Tables, chairs and a beautiful view of the river are provided.

(Click on this description to view the full details).
Over the past three decades Maddy Winer has enthralled audiences with her inimitable, recognizable voice. Maddy attributes her successes to her love of the Great American Songbook, jazz standards and the pop music of her youth.
Born in New York City, Maddy grew up surrounded by her large Italian family. Her parents had weekly family gatherings featuring a feast of food and non-stop music. At the age of three she performed at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City.
Once she experienced the thrill of stage performance it became her lifelong passion.

Maddy also toured as a headliner in the stage show “North Carolina Is My Home,” written by and starring Loonis McGlohon and Charles Kuralt. The performances were so successful that NPR created and aired a television special “Loonis McGlohon & Friends” which featured Maddy.
She has headlined concerts at Lincoln Center in New York City. the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami Beach, the Saint Louis Symphony, Saint Lawrence Centre For The Arts in Toronto and countless venues in between.
