Norman Sylvester — "The Boogie Cat" — returns to the main stage with his funky, soulful revue, Friday, June 30. Sylvester purveys his own brand of blues, blended with soul and funk. He's supported by a basic unit of keyboardist Janice Scroggins, bassist Rob Shoemaker, and drummer Ashbolt Stewart, but variety comes from augmenting the group at times with as many as five horns, a group of backup vocalists that includes Sylvester's daughter Lenanne, a middle-school chorus, organist Dover Weinberg, harpist Bill Rhoades, or singer LaRhonda Steele.
