Stephane Wrembel from Louis Armstrong House.

Stephane Wrembel Band Day & Time: Saturday, April 1st, 2022 9:30pm onwards Sunday, April 2nd, 2022 8:00pm onwards Genre: Jazz Synopsis: Stephane Wrembel learned his craft among the gypsies at campsites in the French countryside. He plays the guitar with a rich and colorful lyricism and has mastered the inventiveness, melody and sheer swing style of legendary composer/guitarist Django Reinhardt. The breadth and range of Wrembel's playing and compositions are unmatched. He is not just a creative improviser in Gypsy Jazz but is probably one of the finest acoustic guitar players in the world. "Wrembel creates lead lines that snake through the original melodies, accenting them with dazzling riffs, and coming back to earth, and making it all make sense. His tone is alive and warm. That's Jazz!", says Vintage Guitar Magazine. Entry: $20 per person Book Now: Apr 02 Apr 03 Artiste Videos: Bistro Fada | Big Brother | Apocalypse

That seems highly doubtful.

Many cities in Tennessee are now considered “low” for COVID-19 community levels, according to the newly released map Thursday, March 10, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Knox County’s COVID-19 level has been declining and is now considered “low.” Just two weeks ago the county was considered to be at a “high” level. According to the CDC, levels can be low, medium or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area. Multiple counties surrounding Knox County are now considered low as well after being high two weeks ago and medium a week ago. Claiborne, Hawkins, Sullivan, Washington, Unicoi, and Carter counties remain at a high level. Cocke, Morgan, Scott, and Campbell are holding at the medium level.

I don't know Denver from personal experience, but there is a jazz club there called Dazzle which appears to be of interest. https://dazzledenver.com/upcoming-events/

A few years ago I saw him play solo at Carnegie Hall. it was really beautiful.

I paid for the "Premiere" pass, not the Sonic Explorer pass, so no seats for me at the Mill and Mine or the Standard.
