Celebrate America Fireworks Following Concert at 9:30 p.m.
With a style that is part jazz, R&B, chill, retro funk and world beat, guitarist Matt Marshak crosses over many genres of music. His live shows are second to none in terms of funk, energy, crowd interaction and fun, building Marshak's world-wide reputation as a creative, bright young star. Growing up in Long Island, New York, Marshak started playing all types of music, paying his dues in small clubs. While attending college at SUNY Geneseo, he played with a blues/R & B group, cooking up renditions of tunes by old blues and soul masters. Marshak's new 2008 CD, On the Rocks, has just been released and features a wide range of musical styles, while staying true to jazz, R&B and blues. Matt's hard working; engaging style will win many new Wichita fans. For more information, visit mattmarshak.com.
