ANDREW NEU & ROB ZINN AT THE PONDEROSA

The Ponderosa Barn doesn’t sound like a place you would expect to hear smooth jazz, but the privately funded West Grove, Pa. venue does a few things that sets it apart from the crowd.

For one, all proceeds from the Andrew Neu & Robb Zinn Smooth Jazz Concert on Sat., Oct. 9 go directly to the players on stage — the venue takes no percentage of sales.

“It’s kind of like Daryl’s House,” Zinn says, comparing the Ponderosa to setting of the popular show Live From Daryl’s House, featuring Daryl Hall.

Zinn, who recently moved to Florida, played trumpet in a variety of Delaware bands over the decades including Whale, Group Therapy, Rocket 88, The Jimmy Pritchard Band and Special Delivery.

Both Zinn and acclaimed saxophonist, Neu, have had recent releases make the Billboard Smooth Jazz charts and are just coming off their Summer Jazz Festival Tour. Their Ponderosa show starts at 7pm. Visit Ponderosa-Barn-LLC.Ticketleap.com.

THE COLLINGWOOD TO PERFORM HALLOWEEN EVE SHOW

The Collingwood return to the Kennett Flash on Oct. 30.

Never a band to shy away from spooky subjects — or a good time — The Collingwood will be playing their first live show in nearly two years on Sat., Oct. 30 at the Kennett Flash.

The band is taking full opportunity out of the fact that their show is the night before Halloween, aka Mischief Night.

“The idea is to bring the cosmic, witchy darkness of [our music and videos] into the Kennett Flash that night,” says lead singer, guitarist and film auteur Chris Malinowski. So expect Halloween themed costumes in line with the band’s music videos for “Confetti” and “Jouissance,” which they released this year.

Tickets for the show are $15 in advance and $20 night of show. Doors open at 7pm, show starts at 8pm with New Shields opening. Visit KennettFlash.org.
