Washington Crossing, PA – The Friends of Washington Crossing Park (PA) and the historic Newtown Theatre are teaming up for a third year to present a free outdoor jazz concert on Saturday, May 25 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The concert will be held on the banks of the Delaware River near the park’s visitor center.
The featured jazz artist this year is Calli Graver. Graver’s love for jazz, classical and pop helped shape the genre-bending sound heard in her original music today. Her newest album, “The Sun’s In My Eyes,” produced by Ben O’Neil (John Legend, Jill Scott), was released in September 2022 to critical acclaim. The album accompanies fans on their day-to-day journeys, exploring sophisticated writing and musicianship from her band with warmth, nostalgia, and plain ol’ fun.

In addition to recording original music, Graver has sung with legends like Aretha Franklin, Michael Bublé, Josh Groban, and Andrea Bocelli, and worked with several symphonies, orchestras and philharmonics spanning the nation.
Attendees are welcome to bring their own picnic dinner, chairs, and blankets. Alcohol is not permitted in the state park. Four-legged friends are welcome but must be leashed and under control at all times.
No registration is required for this free concert. Rain date is Monday, May 27 at the same time. Washington Crossing Historic Park is located at 1112 River Road in Washington Crossing, Pa.
