SunRidge Canyon first Jazz concert

McDermitt, Smith, Boatman, Kilian at Jazz in the Hills

Vicki McDermitt, Frank Smith, Armand Boatman, and Dwight Kilian entertain to a packed house at SunRidge Canyon.

SunRidge Canyon was the place for Jazz lovers to be on Friday February 8th. Jazz in the Hills produced it’s first event ever at the SunRidge Canyon Golf Club. Guests were treated to the vocal stylings of Vicki McDermitt with Frank Smith adding Sax and Flute accompanied by Armand Boatman on Piano and Dwight Kilian on Bass.

SunRidge Canyon provided a beautiful room for jazz. The service was impeccable, the food was terrific, and the music provided a perfect blend of vocal and instrumental jazz.

Our audience has become accustomed to a great experience – combining the best jazz music with a beautiful facility is something we are fortunate to be able to do in Fountain Hills.

Indoor seating is limited to around 75 and as the weather warms the doors will open to a beautiful outdoor facility that seats up to 200. Look for more Jazz events at SunRidge Canyon in the future.
