RE: Milkshake Mayfield Returns to the Historic Ritz Theatre on February 13, 2020
Toccoa, GA – January
17, 2020 – Milkshake Mayfield has circled the world, gracing national and
international stages, but on Thursday, February 13, at 7pm he returns to his
hometown to take the stage at the Historic Ritz Theatre for a Night at the Ritz
performance.
It is no wonder that the late legendary radio host,
“Tippy” Calloway, befittingly announced Milkshake as trumpeter
extraordinaire. His music presentation
mirrors the legacy of jazz greats. He’s
performed with a ‘who’s who’ among contemporary jazz giants - Duke Ellington, Dizzy
Gillespie, mentor Clark Terry, Wynton Marsalis, Cab Calloway, Freddie Hubbard,
and many others. His astounding jazz
portfolio includes performances/opening acts with the SOS band, Bobby Byrd
& the JB’s, Michael Franks, Alex Bugnon, Kevin Eubanks, and Maysa, formerly
of Incognito.
As anyone can tell, Milkshake and the Milkshake Quintet can
be found most anywhere in the World where smooth jazz is heard on local,
national and international stages. When
not performing, Milkshake can be found mentoring youth and young musicians.
Night at the Ritz, a regular event series at the Historic
Ritz Theatre, is funded, in part, by generous grants received from the National Endowment
for the Arts and the Georgia Council for the Arts. Tickets for all shows may be
purchased online at www.ritztheatretoccoa.com, or at the Toccoa Welcome Center.
Adult tickets are $10, children under 12 and students with an ID are $5. Doors open at 6:30.
For more information on Milkshake Mayfield’s performance
or Night at the Ritz, please contact Ritz Theatre General Manager Tami Mayhugh
at tmayhugh@cityoftoccoa.com or via phone at 706.244.0039.
