Boulder Friends of Jazz

Presents a

Dixieland & Swing Festival

 

Saturday, September 6 & Sunday, September 7, 2003

 

TRIOS Restaurant, 1155 Canyon Blvd., Boulder, Colorado

With headliners Bill Dendle, Shelley Burns and Fast Eddie Erickson

Bill Dendle, Shelly Burns and Fast Eddie Erickson are three experienced professional entertainers who have joined together to create a fresh, funny musical variety show.

Bill Dendle has been a mainstay on the Dixieland and jazz scene for many years, and is renowned as an extremely funny M.C., a fast man with an ad lib, and a musical virtuoso.  Bill plays banjo, guitar and trombone, sings and displays a witty style that has often been compared to Steve Allen’s.

Shelly Burns has been performing professionally virtually all of her life, and is regard as one of the premier jazz vocalists on the West Coast.  She is also a marvelous comedic actress and has often been compared to Carol Burnett and Imogene Coca.  Like them, she can fracture an audience with laughter, or mesmerize them with a beautiful song.  Unlike them, she also plays drums and washboard!  Bill and Shelly live in Sacramento, CA.

“Fast” Eddie Erickson is an entertainment treasure.  A marvelous singer and an incredible guitarist and banjoist, Eddie is unique.  Eddie can be compared with no one. He is a true original. Highlights of his career as a full time musician include the zany years at the Warehouse on Cannery Row in Monterey, two years at the Golden Horseshoe at Disneyland and seven years as leader of the Riverboat Rascals at Disneyworld.  He’s a frequent guest at jazz festivals and on cruises, and has toured Canada, Japan, South America, Europe and all over the United States.  When not traveling, you can catch him playing around the Monterey Peninsula.

 

Plus six outstanding, well-known Colorado bands
