Enjoy the music of one of America’s finest songwriters: Johnny Mercer, who is considered a “pure American” lyricist. Writing as part of the “Golden Guild” including Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and George Gershwin, he brought a Southern style to his music that evokes the landscapes and influences of his youth.

Nancy Tripp brings Mercer’s music to the Canoe Club in Hanover with stories of his life and songs. Jeepers Creepers, Fools Rush In, Blues in the Night, and Satin Doll are just a few of the offerings. Nancy will perform with her trio of Andy Bourke on bass, Mike Parker on saxophone, and Billy Rosen on guitar. Enjoy a delicious brunch at noon; the concert begins at 1 PM. For reservation, call 643-9660.
