SUMMARY:Friday and Saturday\, August 23rd & 24th:   Saxophonist Deon Yates
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES:  7:30PM AND 9:30PM.   Deon Yates has been entertaining audiences all over the United States and the world all of his life. Deon started playing music at the age of eight at Guyton elementary school on the east side of Detroit. From there he went on to Remus Robinson middle school where he was introduced to jazz by teachers Donald Washington and Hosea Taylor whom Deon credits as being his musical father. Taylor took Deon under his wing and the rest is history. \n\n\n\nAs a saxophone player\, Deon is one of the few instrumentalists to master the circular breathing technique that allows him to hold one single note without stopping for longer than 5 minutes\, it is a show stopper you must see and hear to believe. Deon has toured nationally with the original number one Dave Matthews Band Tribute “The Tripping Billies” based out of Rochester\, NY and seamlessly covered the style of Leroi Moore. And with the release of his new CD “In Time” and is a current artist on the upcoming compilation cd from U S Smooth Jazz. He can be heard on local area radio and several Internet radio sites.
