Paddle & Groove: Djangophonique

KeyBank National Association Trustee for the Walter E. Terhune Memorial Fund and Black Swamp Conservancy have a great way for you to enjoy a summer evening in Toledo! Join us in June, July, and August as we board a band onto a pontoon boat and take off down the river. Paddle along and enjoy live music on the open water by renting a kayak from Maumee Tackle Fishing & Kayaking Outfitters for $45 or bringing your own boat (kayak or canoe only) for $15. Children under 18 must be in a tandem kayak or canoe with an adult. The events will take place from 6:00 – 7:30 pm. Come early to unload and launch your boat or to get your kayak rental ready. Djangophonique is an award winning project that delivers the infectious joy, and expressive freedom that is at the heart of Django Reinhardt’s jazz manouche. With respect for the tradition and a fearless creativity that bends the conventions of the style, Djangophonique is keeping the Hot Club revival alive and well. The result is a sound that’s unmistakable to fans of the music, and alluring to the uninitiated—a sound that can bring the lively energy of a Parisian dance hall to the quietest listening room or captivate a buzzing festival audience with the aching nostalgia of a shimmering ballad.
