Music in the Elm Bank gardens—The Big Chief
EVENT: Concert in the Elm Bank gardens
DATE: Wednesday, July 9
TIME: 6pm-7:30pm
LOCATION: Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the Garden at Elm Bank, 900 Washington St., Wellesley
DESCRIPTION: The Big Chief’s roots lie in rhythm and blues but offers up a musical smorgasbord of blues, swing, boogie woogie and even a country and rock and roll number or two. Band cornerstone Peter “HiFi” Ward is steeped in the blues. He has shared the stage and recorded with blues luminaries such as Buddy Guy and Junior Wells; toured nationally with Muddy Waters’ Legendary Blues band and regularly performs with Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters. Playing alongside him are Jeff Giacomelli (saxophone/vocals), Ron Facenda (keyboard), Brad Kohl (upright bass) and Joe Baskowski (drums).
