Jubilee Homes of Syracuse Inc. will present the final event of its 2014 Southwest Showcase Sundays (SwSS) series on Sunday, September 28th, 2014. The event will be held at the Spirit of Jubilee Park on the 100 block of South Avenue in the City of Syracuse and will run from 2:00pm – 7:00pm. It will feature four bands performing a variety of music including original RnB, 70’s Soul, Reggae and current Popular Dance music.
The headlining band is Mike and Anjela Lynn and the Talented Ones. They were recently voted into the top five in Syracuse New Times’ 2014 “Best of Syracuse” contest. Rounding out the line-up are the Shawn Seals’ Experiment, Jah Eyes and the Survivors, and Soul Smooth featuring: Paul Lee.
SwSS began about 15 years ago as a summer series (6-8 events) providing family-fun entertainment and showcasing the best of Syracuse’s Southside. Due to financial woes, over the past three years the series had dwindled down to only three per summer. This year the organizers were contemplating not producing any events at all. That plan changed. Thankfully due to grants from CNY Arts and the Gifford Foundation the organizers were able to produce two events. The bands also pulled together to help make the events happen by partially donating their time and services.
In addition to the live bands the event will feature a food vendor, kids’ activities, poetry readings, and community information.
