All Jazzed Up with Sophisticated Sips
Saturday, July 8, 2023
7:30 – 9:30 pm
What could be better than live soft jazz and cocktails on a warm summer night? Join us for a taste journey featuring herbal infused cocktails and mocktails paired with a sumptuous hors d’oeuvres buffet as you enjoy the Grace Marie Wallace Quartet preforming their one-of-kind smooth jazz! Grace will be accompanied by Peter Concilio on bass, Tim Gilmore on drums, and Bob Merrill on piano.
Herbal cocktails excite the taste buds, offer a refreshing treat on humid summer days and are a favorite way to use plants during the summertime. They can be made as a mocktail or cocktail, depending on your personal preference. The cocktail tasting includes four types of drinks and recipes to try at home. Once you find the drink you like the best, a full-sized version will be available to purchase.
Cocktail tasting and hors d’oeuvres begin at 7:30 pm. Music begins at 8:00 pm.
Call some friends and get a table together (tables seat 6) for this delicious and entertaining evening in the Historic Stone Mill Building!

Read what people are saying about Grace Marie Wallace:
“I’ll never forget her name. What a great, young, fresh voice she is. Her tone is clear as a bell. She sings with a buoyancy and happiness that is easily transferred to her audience. I look forward to hearing her again and again. “
Arthur Bakopolus – Arthur’s House of Jazz, Methuen MA
“Grace Marie Wallace is one of the finest singers I have worked with. I first heard about her from my colleagues who worked with her at the Interplay jazz camp, and when I learned I was going to be playing some gigs with her I assumed she would be a talented and promising amateur, given that she is an accomplished medical researcher and not primarily a musician. Boy was I surprised! Grace’s pitch is impeccable, her taste in songs eclectic, with an ear toward obscure gems, and her thirst for musical knowledge is insatiable, not to mention the incredible speed at which she attains it. Her sense of rhythm helps an ensemble groove harder. Her commitment to the meaning of the lyric and her appreciation for space and nuance make every performance a unique, profound experience. Grace is the real deal, and I can’t wait to hear what she does next.”
