Live at the Five & Dime Presents the Jake Hertzog Trio
Jake Hertzog
The second season of the "Live at the Five & Dime" outdoor concert series continues on Wednesday, Aug. 21, with the Jake Hertzog Trio, featuring Jake Hertzog (guitar), Garrett Jones (bass), and Chris Teal (drums). Concerts are free and take place every Wednesday night from 6-8 p.m. outside the Walmart Museum on the Bentonville square.
The Jake Hertzog Trio is a jazz/rock group that has released five albums and has headlined venues such as the Blue Note in New York City and the Salo Jazz Festival in Finland. Under the alias Hey Jazz Guy, Hertzog has contributed over thirty articles to Guitar Player magazine's 'Lessons' section. Guitar Player has coined him the "Jazz ambassador to the non-jazz world." Jake Hertzog was the grand prize winner at the guitar competition at the 2006 Montreux Jazz Festival.
A recent interview on KUAF's Of Note, with Jake Hertzog, Garrett Jones, and Alan Gosman, discusses the "Live at the Five & Dime" series and previews one of the songs composed by Hertzog that will be part of Wednesday's concert.
"Live at the Five & Dime" features 25 concerts from April 24 to Oct. 9. The concerts are a collaboration between the University of Arkansas Department of Music, the Walmart Museum, and Downtown Bentonville Inc. The performances feature faculty, students and other artists connected to the Department of Music at the University of Arkansas, and overlap partly with the Wednesday Farmer's Market on the Bentonville Square.
