ITCHY FEET CONCERT: Please join us on July 11^th at 6:00 PM for the music of Itchy Feet.

Itchy Feet plays an exciting and eclectic mix of hard driving swing and straight ahead jazz. Formed in 2009, the band is a nonet with six horns, keys, bass and drums. The band members are among Greater Boston's busiest musicians, arrangers, and educators.  Sometimes feature vocalist Steve Marvin accompanies the band singing many of Frank Sinatra's most popular songs, as well as other jazz standards.

The band performs at clubs, festivals and private events throughout the greater Boston area.  This concert is free and open to the public.  Be sure to bring your dancing feet, a blanket to spread out in front of the band, and friends and family. 

In event of inclement weather the concert will be canceled.  Visit Kimball Library website for updated concert information.  This summer courtyard concert is sponsored by the amazing Friends of the Kimball Library.
