Average White Band
Sunday, July 13, 2008 • 7:30 p.m.
 Average White Band is widely regarded as one of the best soul and funk bands around. Though perhaps best known for their timeless instrumental mega-hit “Pick Up the Pieces,” the band’s strength actually lays in their accomplished songwriting, earning gold-selling albums, Top 10 hits and Grammy nominations with hits like “Cut the Cake,” “TLC” and “Soul Searching.” Average White Band has been performing sold-out shows around the world for the last 30 years. While their roots are Scottish, the band performs infectiously danceable funky soul based on the sounds of Memphis, Motown and Philadelphia.

Tom Grant Band
 A master instrumentalist, talented singer and natural entertainer, Tom Grant nimbly walks the line between jazz tradition and modern pop. The Oregon native’s inspired songwriting produces propulsive R&B grooves, infectious melodic hooks and stylish ballads with equal ease. Since 1983, Grant’s records have repeatedly topped the smooth jazz charts, including Mango Tango, Night Charade and In My Wildest Dreams.
