MOISES BORGES & KENNY DAVIS – CEDAR FAIRMOUNT CONCERT ON THE GREEN
7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
The Cedar Fairmount Special Improvement District is offering two free concerts on the green west of Nighttown on Thursday, June 16, and Thursday, July 21, from 7–9 p.m. On June 16, Moises Borges and Kenny Davis will perform, and on July 21, Morgan Mecaskey, song writer and singer will perform with her group.

Moises Borges brings Bossa Nova and Brazilian music to Cedar Fairmount, featuring Kenny Davis on trumpet. Borges, a native of Brazil now living in Cleveland, has become a prolific performer in the Northeast Ohio scene in recent years. A gifted vocalist and guitarist, Borges plays in the Bossa Nova tradition interpreting classics by Jobim, Gilberto and many others. This far away from his native Brazil, the music of his homeland is very much alive when he is on stage.

Veteran trumpeter Kenny Davis brings a wealth of experience to the bandstand. Davis was a member of the Duke Ellington Orchestra in the late ‘70s. He worked in the house band at the legendary Leo's Casino. At Leo's, Davis backed all of the major Motown acts including Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and many more. In addition to his prolific performing career, Davis is a retired member of the jazz faculty at Oberlin College, where he taught for 20 years.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair and prepare to enjoy great music under the stars. Round out your evening with a picnic of food from Cedar Fairmount restaurants. In case of inclement weather, the concerts will be held inside Nighttown.
