Dear Friend,

If you haven't had a chance to hear Frédéric Yonnet perform this summer, then check out one of several free concerts in August. While his music and videos are online, nothing compares to seeing him live! His stage performance, along with his ability to use the harmonica as a lead instrument in a variety of musical styles, is most impressive.

This month, Frédéric demonstrates his versatility by performing Latin and Brazilian tunes with vocalist Patrick DeSantos; and instrumental jazz fusion and R&B with his own band. Don't be surprised to catch him occasionally performing live in area dance clubs as DJs spin house, tech, or rap music.
