Dixieland Jazz at Stangl Stage

Celebrate the spirit of Mardi Gras when Marshall’s Dixieland Jazz Band presents “Dixieland Jazz at Stangl Stage” on Saturday, Feb. 25, from 8 to 10 p.m., at 50 Stangl Road, Flemington. Masks and beads are welcome!

The concert will benefit Friends of Historic Flemington, and a silent auction will accompany the concert. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for auction preview and bids.

Marshall's Dixieland Band plays Dixie standards on authentic instruments. Each performance is a unique experience. Their inspirations are Louis Armstrong, The Dukes of Dixieland, Al Hirt, and Pete Fountain.

The band is comprised of well-seasoned musicians from central New Jersey, including regulars Rod B. Anderson of Princeton on clarinet and reeds; Warren Buckleitner of Flemington, cornet and trumpet; Henry Dale of Princeton, banjo, guitar and vocals; George Dougherty of Lawrenceville, trombone; Charley Huck of Somerville, piano; Jerry Gerard of Monroe Twp., drums; and Tom Spain of Skillman, tuba.

Tickets are $25 per person in advance, $30 at the door.

The Friends of Historic Flemington believe the demolition of the Union Hotel and three adjacent buildings in the heart of the county seat’s historic district is unnecessary. They advocate for the adaptive reuse of Flemington’s significant historic buildings, including the Union Hotel, as critical components of a thoughtfully designed and properly scaled downtown development.
