Cynthia Sayer’s musical approach has a contemporary hip appeal, yet her music is based on 1920s and 1930s jazz.
She takes her audience on a delightful journey through musical Americana. Opening in the ragtime era, she swings through the wild new “jass” sound, experience vaudeville banjo stars, romp through Tin Pan Alley, vamp the classics, enjoy old favorites and wind up in a virtuoso flurry of banjo hits.
Her credits include playing and recording with Woody Allen, Dick Hyman, Milt Hilton and many others. She has been featured in festivals throughout Europe, the Far East and the USA. She has played at the White House for President Ronald Reagan, at Carnegie Hall, and with the New York Philharmonic.
Now is your chance to listen to Cynthia Sayer right in your own backyard. Bring a picnic dinner, a blanket and join the crowd for some wonderful music under the stars.
Roger Sherman Baldwin Park is located on Arch Street by the Teen Center and Island Beach Ferry Dock.
