Multi-instrumentalist Kevin Van Ess and his band, Talk of the Town, hope you can help them develop the next generation of musicians in Door County. Talk of the Town is the final non-holiday performance for Birch Creek Music Performance Center’s fall season, including pianists Jodie DeSalvo, Colin Welford, and the Lawrence University Jazz Trio. The band is comprised mostly of retired music educators from northeast Wisconsin who also perform in other groups in the region, including the Packers Band on game days. Van Ess applauds Birch Creek Music Performance Center's work during the summer, exposing hundreds of kids from across the Midwest to professional musicians and enthusiastic audiences. He knows the excitement of performing, and he wants to ensure Birch Creek students get as many opportunities as possible to experience that thrill.

Playing their Dixieland-style jazz inside Birch Creek’s Juniper Hall, Talk of the Town plays on Saturday at 7 p.m. You can find ticketing information and learn more about the fall season finale of Christmas at Birch Creek by clicking on this link.
