What began as a DateNight idea for my wife (jada) and I has turned into an opportunity to share an experience with the fan base of our North Texas jazz movement. The evening scenario features great food, drink, jazz programming and friends on 2-hour evening cruise at Lake Ray Hubbard in Rockwall, Texas.
Now that we have two presentations under our belt, we have the program, pricing and experience rounded out where we present a great evening for those seeking a casual end of the week getaway from their daily grind with work and the cares of the world.
Sometimes in looking for new experiences, people don't take time to enjoy 'cool out' time. To just slowdown. For anyone joining us going forward don't set your heart for some major concert experience. Or, for some party boat blast. This is the coolest cruise in the area. Each outing we program the following:
- Our UptownJazzDallas.com Network Set-List Music Playlist (on-location in the foreground)
- a special guest jazz performance (formatted specifically for this cruise scenario)
- A featured food menu
- complimentary soft drinks and setups
- participating sponsors providing additional ambiance (e.g. wine, spirits and more!)
- ticket giveaways and contests to upcoming jazz events, concerts and festivals!
There's more coming!
Judging from the 'sell-outs' of our August 2016 and the recent April 18, 2016 scenarios, we look forward to seeing you on the next #NightCruise now set for Friday, June 16, l2016. FIRST WAVE tickets are now available "exclusively" here in this edition of JAZZblastdfw. So, purchase and share the information with those you know who'd enjoy this great night on the lake.
We want to thank our production partners without this wouldn't be possible:
Captain Joy Dennis of Big D Cats and it's Harbor Light double decker party boat. We love you and your crew and appreciate the professionalism.
Rene Rodridguez of Event Moderne for ensuring that our sound and lights are up to the bar we've set for all of our productions.
Special thanks to participating sponsors: CK Modavi Wines (Mr. Ed Kukol), Silver Star Whiskey & Vodka (Mr. Mark Lusignan
