Russell native and Ft. Hays State University Jazz and Trumpet professor, Brad Dawson, invites his Kansas City jazz buddies out to Granny Mae’s to serenade us while we sip drinks as the sun sets. The picturesque evening is such an audience favorite that we can’t help but to bring it back every year. A familiar-yet-diverse set list, Brad’s beautiful playing, a signature cocktail, and the sun setting on an inevitably too-hot day is just the right combination for a Saturday night.
