Add Spark To Your Independence Day Week With Jazz On The Green
Omaha Performing Arts announces Omaha native Michael "Gooch" Gurciullo and his swinging big band will kick off Jazz on the Green Thursday, July 5, 2018. Gurciullo and his 17-piece musical extravaganza cover classic tunes and some of the best songs from the 20th century in a vintage Vegas-style show. Celebrated vocalist and pianist Christine Hitt will also join the band on stage to commemorate the band's 10th anniversary in Omaha.
After years working in Las Vegas' major showrooms and lounges with shows including The Rat Pack is Back, the Lon Bronson All Star Band and more, Gooch returned to Omaha in 2008. He and his big band often play at The Ozone inside Anthony's Steakhouse. He's currently working on a follow-up album to his 2015 "Start of Something Big" and is touring the country as a member of The Official Blues Brothers Review.
Arrive early for preshow music by the Cole Palensky Quartet.

Seating in the grassy circular area of Turner Park with a direct view of the stage, is permitted at 5:00 PM. Green spaces outside the bowl will be available before 5:00 PM.
