Additionally, Jim has had the pleasure of performing with Eric and Randy in SW Florida the Grill At 1951 in Port Charlotte, where Eric and Randy have frequently been featured in recent years.

Holman and Tim Davis have had the distinguished honor of recording with Eric and Randy. Eric is featured on Jim's latest album "First Impressions," along with Clark Sommers and Tim Davis. Randy is featured on Holman's upcoming album, again with Davis and Sommers.

This is the first year that the festival will be graced by Devin Foster's contributions. We are excited to have Devin participate not only in the festival but for a wonderful celebration of jazz at Merrimans' Playhouse.
