SummerFest kickoff!
For many Metro-Detroit families, summertime means family fun on the lake — and at The War Memorial, that means SummerFest! Our annual summer fun series kicks off on July 10 with the Dave Bennett Band.
The free concert begins at 7:30 p.m. on the lakefront lawn.
“There are things in our show like Benny Goodman and closing with Jerry Lee Lewis, but we also have some new things and other songs that I have written,” Bennett says about the concert. “We’re trying to keep it fresh.”
Bennett is a multi-instrumentalist and singer who performs everything from jazz and swing to rock and roll. As a jazz and pop clarinet player Bennett has performed all over North American at historic venues and festivals, including Carnegie Hall. His 2018 Mack Avenue Records release "Blood Moon" reached No. 24 on the Billboard jazz charts.
