The unique sounds of Oswego’s own Doc Apple will add to the musical flavor of the Central New York Great Pumpkin Festival with a live performance at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 4th in Washington Square Park in Oswego.
Formed in the early 90’s the band brought together a number of talented Central New York musicians who had performed with some of the top acts in the area. The collective resume of the members was so long that it looked like a ‘classified’ ad, as a result the name Classified stuck and the band began its mission of EOE, equal opportunity entertainment for all.
Led by second-generation swing musician, Don Goodness, who began performing with professional dance bands at age 11, the Do Good Swing Band is an authentic 17-piece swing band that plays in the style of the great bands of the swing era such as Glen Miller and Jimmy Dorsey. The Do Good Swing Band is comprised of outstanding Central New York musicians and plays a mix of swing music that will satisfy dancers and listeners alike.
One of Central New York’s premier jazz vocalists, Nancy Kelly will showcase her unique vocal style with a free, live performance beginning at 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 8th during Fulton’s Jazz Fest.
The 17-piece big band led by Stan Gosek will blow through a handful of classic swing tunes, such as Count Basie’s “Jumpin’ At The Woodside”, Glenn Miller’s “In The Mood”, “Satin Doll”, “Minnie The Moocher”, “Harlem Nocturne”, and more.
The show begins at Breitbeck Park at 7:30 p.m. Bring your chair and perhaps a blanket, as it’s likely to be a tad cool by the lakeside late in the day.
