Music students from RD Parker will be jamming tonight at Riverview Restaurant.

The first Jam at the Riverview starts at 7 pm and will feature both students and local musicians with a love for jazz music.

Kevin Lewis, one of the directors of the RD Parker Music program, says that events like this are what help the students connect with other artists and continue to learn.

“It’s geared primarily towards the students, but the whole idea here is we’re trying to provide an opportunity for our students to get out and play and interact and communicate. We often talk about music being a language; conversation is such an important part of language, so it’s an opportunity for our students to get out and converse musically with some of our community musicians.”

Anyone that wants to bring an instrument and join in is welcome to do so. The music the students will be playing is posted online at RDParkerMusic.com
