Thank You North To Shore Festival 2025 for an Incredible Collaboration with Gregory Burrus Productions

Gregory Burrus Productions extends our deepest appreciation to the North 2 Shore Festival for your generous sponsorship and support of Jazz and Joy - Lynette Sheard / Nat Adderley Jr & Friends produced by Gregory Burrus Production and Jazz and Jamming Featuring Charisa The Violin Diva Produced by Gregory Burrus Productions. Your dedication to cultivating arts and community paved the way for us presenting two unforgettable musical showcases in New Jersey at Clements Place Jazz.

Jazz and Joy: The incomparable Lynette Sheard graced the stage with her powerhouse vocals and her incredible band featuring the always in demand bassist Chris Berger, the dynamic Damon DueWhite ( Roberta Flack, Rachelle Ferrell, Regina Carter, etc) and the iconic Nat Adderley, Jr. ( Luther Vandross, Aretha Franklin, etc) and they definitely left the audience inspired and uplifted.

Jazz and Jamming: @Charisa, the Charisa the ViolinDiva, delivered an electrifying performance that fused the elegance of a classical string quartet with with soulful, jamming sounds of RnB and more. She pushed the edge of each genre to its limits, continually engaging the audience and left a lasting impression. It was an amazing performance that will stay with us for a long time.

Thanks to your partnership, we were able to bring top-tier talent to our community and celebrate the soul of local music and artistry. For the 3rd year in a row, your belief in our mission amplifies our artist voice once again.

Huge thank you to our partner Mental Health Association in New Jersey’s Lynette Sheard and MHANJ Donniee Barnes who is also a New Jersey Governor Arts in Education Recipient.

Also thanks to my Gregory Burrus Productions support team, Rutgers IJS Clements Place Jazz Volunteers, Wayne Winborne and the fabulous Yardbird Entertainment Sound and Video team.
