The weather today is loaded with storms of all sorts and types.  If you were planning to come out for the awesome jazz, we'll still have our tents up with plenty of cover and we'll do barrel tastings inside.  Perhaps we can map out some future blends!!!!!   Rick and Bill, who run sound, have an exceptionally easy day with the Ron Jones Jazz Quartet.  Simply put, this group should be playing nationally at the top jazz festivals.  And some of them do.  This is jazz at its absolute finest.  Pure, clean, concise with superbly top notch musicians, the best of the best.  If you are new to jazz, turned off of jazz, give this a try.  Trust me.  This is the longest continuous group playing at Turtle Run Winery at the longest continuous concert series at wineries in the Midwest.  Something good must be going on.

Gosh, I hated to cancel this one.  UGH.  I have been looking at the weather since 5:00 AM today, Sunday, and now it's 9:00.  Listened to all of the forecasts.  I sense this one persistent spot in Illinois is going to affect us around 3:30 to 4:00 PM today with a gully-washer of rain, which is not so good for the musical equipment, and if there is lightning, not so good for the patrons either.  I really wanted to hear this band! Dang it...Jim   Here we go, we have masterful band of southern/folk rock, which should be highly entertaining and will really get you going musically.  Lots of instrumentations including the electric guitar, bass, drums, acoustic guitar, sax, and an amazing fiddle, 1 lead vocal, 3 backup vocals.  This should be great!

You've seen Eric Kerr out here with The Rigby's and other bands.  Remember Brutally Handsome?  Eric and the Iconics drift us back into some good time "classic music." From Pop, Rock, Motown, R&B favorites and "seldom heard" gems of the '60s and '70s. From The Temptations to Al Green to ELO; From Etta James to Dusty Springfield to The Staples Singers. They'll take you back one song at a time.  You'll be able to relax and dance.  Fabulous vocals, male and female, great musicians throughout.  You'll be truly impressed with the ranges of the song and the tightness of the talent.

If you've ever had a "Heart of Glass", "Take Breath Away" in the "Purple Rain", if you were ever "Hungry Like The Wolf" and wanted to "Get Down Tonight", then "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". If you are fluent in "Jive Talking" or ever got stuck in a "Bizarre Love Triangle", "Get Into The Groove" - "You Should Be Dancing" with RADIOTRONIC, the five-piece rock and dance band with serious Louisville music bloodlines and bubbling, blistering, beautiful solo and harmony vocals from Rachel Hagan, Kevin Garvey and Jeff Epperson. Add Ardel Cagata on bass and Luca Bianconcini behind the drum kit and you have the right kind of energetic, seasoned band perfectly suited to play vintage 70's, 80's music that will not let you stay seated.

A great to to celebrate with family, and a great patriotic day for all Americans, the 4th of July.  And this year, to make it special, we are hosting the eclectic rock band that creates their own groove to hits, great songs, rock, alternative rock, you name it, Nervous Melvin.  I love their personal twists to classic songs.  Sometimes, you have to stop and think, yeah, I've heard that before, what / who is that, because of how original they can twist a song into something different and totally cool.

Friday, July 5th at Turtle Run Winery. Thinking a lot of people are off work and perhaps looking for something fun to do. I don't do this often, certainly not often enough. I think I can manage this with our awesome staff today. For anyone who asks, we'll do one of my "Critically Acclaimed" sensory analysis on how the shape of a wine glass affects the acute flavors we perceive through volumetric pressure, vapor pressure, slope, flow rate, and the subconscious responses in nanoseconds to flavor and aroma recognition due to mouth vaporization location and rate. In semi-layman's terms, I can prove there is no such thing as a red wine glass, a white wine glass, but I can prove that wine does taste different out of different glasses and your perceptive like of this glass over that glass is tied to your individually unique biology. Anyone game? Come on out today! Cheers, Jim
