TOUCH OF EUROPE presents from Indianapolis

Gypsy Swing Guitarist

ADAM YEAGER, FRI-SAT MARCH 8-9

MUSIC 8:30-11 PM, OPEN FOR DINNER AT 5 PM

Adam Yeager was born in Indianapolis, IN and started playing jazz guitar at the young age of 16. He immediately began playing gigs and finding other musicians to play any gigs they could get their hands on. After college he attended Jeff Berlin’s Players School of Music in Clearwater, FL., and later attended the University of North Carolina Asheville to receive bachelor’s degrees in jazz and classical performance. While in attendance at UNCA, Adam had been in several successful bands ranging from hip hop to classical chamber groups. His primary focus was in Gypsy Swing. A style of music made famous by Django Reinhardt. Adam is currently living in Indianapolis and employed as an acoustic engineer for the world’s #1 acoustic treatment/design company, Auralex Acoustics. He is also playing playing solo gigs throughout the Midwest and in his spare time is teaching at a small school in northern Indianapolis.

No bugs. No heat. No street noise.

The Touch of Europe is a fantastic place to dine during the week if you want quiet fine dining in a cool joint. Of course they still feature live music on Friday and Saturday nights, BUT during the workweek (Tuesday – Thursday) you can have an intimate, quiet dinner with someone special. Same great food prepared by the owner, a master in Eastern European Cuisine.

Absolute is one of the most affordable sandwich shops in downtown. They serve hot toasted subs at about half the price of their closest competitor. They are the sister restaurant of South Dakota’s first Jazz Club, Touch of Europe.

Roger Neumann, tenor saxophonist who has performed with the likes of Count Basie and Woody Herman bands, as well as Ray Charles, will join Chicago guitarist Scott Hesse for a one-night show on June 12. They will be performing with the C.J. Kocher Quartet, including C.J. on saxophone, Mike Andersen (bass) and Mike Benton on drums. Don’t miss this special night and Roger’s first appearance at Touch of Europe. Scott Hesse is one of our favorites and he will be performing two nights this month. On June 12 and again with Bobby Gripp and “Jazzed” on  Friday, June 18.
