Clarskville's Roxy Regional TheatreClarksville, TN – With a nod to yesteryear, the Cumberland Winds Jazz Project is teaming with Clarksville’s oldest professional live theatre this fall to recreate an old-time radio show from the 1940s.  

Traditional big band music will combine with radio skits, vintage advertisements, and maybe a war newsflash or two at the “Cumberland Winds Jazz Project: 1940s Radio Days” at the Roxy Regional Theatre on Friday, November 18th, and Saturday, November 19th, at 7:00pm.




In the intimate setting of the Roxy Regional Theatre, The Jazz Project will present music from the popular big bands of the 1940s, including Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Gene Krupa and Stan Kenton. The evenings’ featured vocalist will be Charlie King, singing such all-time favorites such as “A Foggy Day,” “You’re Nobody ‘Till Somebody Loves You” and “It Had to Be You.”
 
Tickets are $20.00 and may be purchased online at www.roxyregionaltheatre.org, by phone at 931.645.7699, or at the Roxy Regional Theatre during regular box office hours (9:00am to 2:00pm, Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to the performance).
