We are the bourbon-soaked brain-child of multi-instrumentalist Kris Bauman and guitarist Luca Benedetti; The Dang-it Bobbys. Formed in 2004, the two Brooklyn based musicians assembled a project that borrows from classic country music, newer acoustic and electric sounds, and the intricate standards from the golden age of jazz. The result is strikingly original, at once both playful and poignant. Bauman and Benedetti have created a blend of American music that is sometimes quick picking, sometimes blue, and always entertaining.

The concert will take place on the Great Lawn. Bring chairs or a blanket, and a picnic dinner. In the event of rain, the concert will take place indoors.
