Second of Dwight-Derby House Kitchen Concert Series Features Medfield's Jazz Trumpeter Tom Duprey

Enjoy a fun and intimate evening of stellar jazz and delicious finger food and drink at the Kitchen Concert Series at the Dwight-Derby House in Medfield. All-inclusive--just $25 at the door.

On Thursday, June 6, from 7:00 pm to 10:30 pm, The Friends of the Dwight-Derby House will host the second of its Kitchen Concert Series featuring Medfield’s stellar trumpeter Tom Duprey and accomplished jazz guitarist David Hawthorne of Cambridge.

The event, held at the Dwight-Derby House at 7 Frairy Street in Medfield, is a "First Thursdays" event and will help to raise funds for the next phase of restoration of the house: installation of a working kitchen.

Tickets for this fun and intimate evening of jazz are $25 per person and will be sold at the door. Ticket price includes everything but the kitchen sink: beer and wine tasting provided by Palumbo Liquors, delicious finger food furnished by Basil Restaurant and razor-sharp and energetic trumpet and jazz guitar by the innovative and talented Tom and David, who are core members of James Merenda’s TickleJuice, who’s first CD will be released this summer. Tom and David frequently collaborate, but are accomplished musicians in their own right.
