Beantown Camp News 4/27

It’s Beantown’s 15th year and of course we have to make it the most awesome ever! With the stellar line-up of bands and DJs, it is a can’t miss! To start - Jonathan Stout and his Campus Five, featuring Hilary Alexander! Not just one night, but for two! That alone is awesome! Can’t miss Gordon Webster’s band featuring Naomi Uyama! A Beantown favorite. Camp wouldn’t be the same without them:-) Rounding out the live music is the Boston Swing Express, a new collaboration from some of our favorite local musicians with Mike DiBari on his Swingin’ guitar and an expanded version of his Swingtet. In addition, Boston’s own first lady of Swing, Toni Lynn Washington will be featured on vocals. That’s already a lot of awesome. But there’s more…

Mike Thibault heads up our outstanding DJs who include Dan Newsome, Mary Freitag and Alain Wong. Peter Strom will be back hosting a late night Soul Party, a not-to-be-missed Beantown highlight. Even that’s not all! Minds are working, plans are formulating, there’s more to come! Discounted tuition fees end on May 9. That’s also the date full payments are due for those who have paid a deposit. Camp runs from June 23 to June 30 with multiple registration options. If you have always wanted to come to Beantown, this will be a phenomenal year to do so. If you’ve never done the full week, do it in 2011. You will be glad you did! The website continues to be updated with the latest info. Check out all the details. Happy dancing, Aurelie & Tony
