Event Details

Join Cherry and Jerry as they take us back in time! Fun for the whole family, they focus on blues, jazz, and ragtime from 1900-1920.

The popular duo Cherry and Jerry, making their first appearance at the New Haven Library, will bring you well known songs such as The Entertainer, Alexander’s Ragtime Band, and St. Louis Blues as well as some rarely heard but wonderful music. Fun for the whole family, they focus on ragtime, blues, jazz and popular music from about 1900-1920.

The St. Louis duo has toured music of the ragtime era throughout the region, appearing at libraries, museums, pubs and restaurants, special events, and more. Appearances include the Illinois State Fair, the George Washington Carver National Monument, the Cole Porter Festival in Peru, Indiana, and they performed as part of the Scenic Library Community Read earlier this year.
