The Amador Vintners in conjunction with the Traditional Sacramento Jazz Society PRESENT Amador Vintners 2009 WINE & JAZZ JUBILEE Sunday, May 17, 2009 Concert starts at Noon!

Deaver Vineyards is one of four wineries participating in the Amador Vintners  Annual Wine & Jazz Jubilee on Sunday, May 17th, 2008.  This swinging event marks the official start to the world-famous Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, the biggest jazz festival in the western United States. Our concert starts at noon on May 17th and features Sister Swing, a fresh, exciting trio of singers which has captured the sound of the girl groups of the 1930s and 1940s, and brought it to the 21st century.  Heavily influenced by the 3 part harmonies of groups like the Andrews Sisters and the Boswell Sisters, Sister Swing brings a new sound to an old style. The three ladies, Leigh Hannah, Valerie Marston and Paula Chafey-Merrill, genuinely have a good time on stage and that transcends to their audience.  An evening with Sister Swing will take you back in time to an era of glamour, romance and innocence. The act started to take shape around 1996 when they performed with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra.  That started a chain reaction and shortly thereafter they guest-starred several times with the Moonlight Swing Big Band out of Auburn.  It was with Moonlight Swing that the girls had the distinct honor of singing for Bob Hope and his wife, along with the Apollo 8 astronauts at the 1998 Stockton Air Show.  They soon were invited to perform at the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, the largest of its kind in the world featuring over 125 bands.  They have to date enjoyed many successful years with that Jubilee, and have branched out to other festivals and concert series around the country. The gals have gathered their own custom charts especially tailored to show off their own style and vocal power.  Now, the Sisters have a large repertoire of tunes and have been asked to do their Tribute to the Andrews Sisters for many audiences in the Sacramento area, as well as Monterey, Oklahoma City, Phoenix and others. If you like to hear music from the 30s and 40s pure Andrews Sisters style, don't miss Sister Swing. Tickets are $15 in advance (and on the day of the event, if any remain) and entitle you to enjoy the performances and wine tasting at all four participating wineries, along with a commemorative wine glass. (Visit www.amadorwine.com for the full list of winery concerts).  Tickets are available through the Vintners Association.  When you purchase yours, please indicate that Deaver Vineyards is where you will pick up your glass and the wristband required to gain entry to the other concerts. Food will be available on the day of the concert at an additional cost.
