Hot Club of Cowtown to Perform at Greenwich Library

The 'hot jazz and Western swing' concert is sponsored by the Peterson Concert Series.

The Greenwich Library's Peterson Concert Series continues this weekend with a performance by Hot Club of Cowtown.

The trio will give a free concert at Greenwich Library on Sunday, March 6 at 3:30 p.m. in the Cole Auditorium.

The band formed in 1994 when fiddler and vocalist Elana James placed an ad in the music section of the Village Voice looking to join a band, and guitarist Whit Smith answered. In 2001 the band’s lineup was solidified with bassist Jake Erwin.

The Times of London praised the group for its “down-home melodies and exuberant improvisation.”

The Peterson Concert Series is open to all. Doors open at 3 p.m., however, seating is limited.
