Entertainment Schedule:

NOON: THE SUZUKI VIOLINS

French Market opens with the Suzuki Violins playing both the American and French national anthems. These talented virtuosos remind us that, while we're Americans, we're also a little bit French. At least at the French market!

1215-200: TRANSATLANTIS

The music of Sylvain and Transatlantis is fresh, attractive and all original. Drawn from many diverse styles, this “world music” is lyrically crafted melodies, choice harmonies and Sylvain’s French vocals. A French Market favorite for many years.

215-415: ROUGHOUSE

Roughouse is a blues-steeped, classic rock and roll band out of Noblesville and is playing the French Market for the first time. Maybe you've heard them at a Colts game or at the Slippery Noodle. Roughousers unite at the French Market stage!

430-630: PAVEL AND DIRECT CONTACT

Pavel & Direct Contact is known for its energetic, fiery performances, much in the vein of the modern pyrotechnicians of today’s Latin Jazz world. Led by Internationally-known Dominican pianist and Chicago Music Awards Nominee, Pavel Polanco-Safadit, Direct Contact brings an unforgettable experience of Latin Jazz, Salsa, and Latin-infused American pop song. The band is composed of Indy Jazz Hall-of-Famers, studio musicians, Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra players, and International artists. With dancing shoes or not, you will be immersed into a world of entertainment!
