One Last Chance for a "Big" Sound at New Canaan's Waveny Park

Thanks to the weather, there's still one more chance to head on out to Waveny Park for the 2013 Summer Concert Series. The following is a release on the featured band Thursday night, Fairfield Counts, who will be bringing their big band sound to any and all comers:

The Big Band Concert scheduled for August 28th at Waveny Park in New Canaan has been postponed until Thursday, August 29, due to inclement weather. The Concert is sponsored by HTG Investment Advisors Inc. of New Canaan which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Brought back by popular demand for the season’s concluding concert, "The Fairfield Counts" echo the sounds of legendary bands such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Tommy Dorsey. Harvey Tuckman started the "Fairfield Counts" to breathe new life into the immortal Big Band repertoire, captivating a new generation of music lovers. Beginning at 7:30 p.m., the free concert traditionally draws hundreds of fans who arrive early to enjoy their picnics on the great lawn behind Waveny House.

HTG has sponsored musical events at Waveny for the past 13 years according to Jeanne Gnuse who, with her husband, Tom, is co-founder of HTG Investment Advisors.  

"Through our concert sponsorship we are celebrating the community that has helped us grow over the past 20 years, allowing us to give back to the community," Gnuse said.
