Band to perform Tuesday
Waynesburg College will host the Ray Ryan New Orleans Riverside Band Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center. There is an admission charge for the public. A musical blend of brass horns and percussion, the Ray Ryan New Orleans Riverside Band combines rhythm of blues, traditional jazz and Cajun music. Their performances are ideal for family entertainment as they use impromptu and spontaneous performances – a musical experience that captures audiences of all ages.
As Ray Ryan and his band reflect the sounds of New Orleans music, the audience may reflect on the recent disaster and all of the lives affected by Hurricane Katrina. Waynesburg College will collect donations at the concert to contribute to relief efforts through the Red Cross.
The Ray Ryan New Orleans Riverside Band is part of the Waynesburg College Performing Arts Series.
The public is invited to enjoy other upcoming events that are part of the Performing Arts Series including Manhattan Music Ensemble on Oct. 4 and John Cannon, classical pianist, on Nov. 15.
