    The second in the Merrimans' Playhouse Jazz Performance Series, this performance features The Merriman Trio with special guest, Billy Foster on piano. The remainder of the trio are South Bend musicians Mary Merriman on double bass, and Stephen Merriman on drums. This concert offers an opportunity to experience the art of jazz in dowtown South Bend, that is affordable and family friendly. The performance will be two sets with a 30 minute intermission. Refreshments will be available before and after each set. Cash bar. Billy Foster is a respected jazz artist, composer, educator, and producer. He has performed as a professional musician for the past 35 years and in addition to performing across the U.S. with others, has led his own groups for much of that time. Mr. Foster has written and produced recordings with both "Billy Foster and Audio" and the "Billy Foster Trio."
