The highlight of the evening will be The Gas Light Squares - a traditional jazz band based in St. Louis, Missouri. It isn’t by chance that our big evening culminates with this incredible music that so expressively represents the soul of St Louis culture past and present. The band is named after the famous Gas Light Square district of the 50’s & 60’s that exploded with music, poetry, and the arts coming from the taverns and cabarets. The district attracted many poets and writers such as Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg who would stop in St Louis and experience Gas Light Square.
