South Plainfield Library presents: Juke Joint Jive with Ken Lelen

Come listen to some toe tappin' songs

On Saturday December 8 at 2pm, the South Plainfield Public Library welcomes vocalist and guitarist Ken Lelen who will perform Juke Joint Jive. Juke Joint Jive is concert that offers toe-tappin’ tunes that were jukebox favorites, radio hits and bandstand requests for jitter buggers, stagedoor johnnies, drugstore cowboys, swingshift maisies zoot suiters, bobby soxers, and lindy hoppers in the Big Band era. Ken Lelen performs legendary love songs and plays vintage acoustic guitars for an authentic back-in-the-day sound. By marrying amusing anecdotes, memorable melodies and charming lyrics, his concerts are a hit for the public. To sign up for the program, contact the South Plainfield Library at 908-754-7885. This program will be held at the South Plainfield Senior Center.
