The Buddy Holly Center and Mouse Shadow Continue Summer Showcase 2024
The Buddy Holly Center’s annual Summer Showcase Concert Series continues its season on Thursday, August 8, 2024 with Mouse Shadow!
Mouse Shadow is a nine-piece funk orchestra which performs all original compositions and arrangements in the styles of funk, African funk, and jazz. Based largely on the African styles of Tizita, West African polyrhythm, and East African jazz, as well as the work of acclaimed composers Thad Jones and Duke Ellington, Mouse Shadow presents a sound that is an eclectic mix of energetic dance rhythms and jazz moods. Made up of Texas Tech and South Plains College grads and students, as well as local musicians that have served the Lubbock musical community for years, Mouse Shadow is a homegrown orchestra that performs and records in a style that is wholly unique to West Texas.
Concerts are every Thursday evening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Meadows Courtyard, May 16 – August 15. Guests are welcome to bring outside food. However, outside beverages are not permitted after 5:15pm. Admission is FREE! Seating for this event is available on a first come, first serve basis. No reservations will be accommodated for this event. Chairs, picnic blankets, and like items will NOT be permitted inside the gates.
