Event Experience

Music

The soundtrack to the afternoon is Jimmy Blue and the Jilted Playboys.

This blues outfit is led by the commanding Jim Phipps (aka Jimmy Blue) and fuses gritty emotion with classic and modern influences. Dave Franklin’s sharp, soulful guitar riffs play off Jimmy’s powerful vocals, while Larry Penner adds vintage flair on keyboards. Alex Mazzucca anchors the group with steady, groove-driven bass lines, and Connor Stoehr fuels the beat with high-energy drumming. Together, they deliver a heartfelt blues experience that has earned a loyal local following.
