“The Jon Thornton Quartet plays music from the Great American Songbook featuring his vocal stylings reminiscent of the 1950’s era jazz icon Chet Baker. The performance will feature some of the finest musicians in the Carolina’s and there may even be a surprise guest or two! This timeless music will be a fun evening suitable for all!” Jon Thornton
