Kick off summer with an hour-long outdoor concert featuring vocalist Les Sampou and the Dirty Martinis. This quintet brings the American Songbook to life with a unique and sultry take on the classics—the music of Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Diana Krall, Peggy Lee, George Gershwin and Harold Arlen—in the style of Ella Fitzgerald with Joe Pass and Julie London with Barney Kessel. The Dirty Martinis also present Top 40 deep cuts from The Doors, Elton John, Tom Petty, Amy Winehouse, Ricki Lee Jones and Bonnie Raitt to name only a few.

Bring a blanket, chairs and your dancing shoes!

In the event of inclement weather, we will transplant the groove inside to the Community Room. This program would not be possible without the generous support of The Friends of the Reading Public Library.
