Reception entertainment will be provided by The Countdown Quartet

The Countdown Quartet is:

Dave Wright - lead vocals, trombone, keyboards
Steve Grothmann - upright and electric basses, vocals
Daniel Hall - drums
Peter Lamb - tenor and soprano saxes, vocals
Randolph Mills - alto and tenor saxes

Raleigh , North Carolina's Countdown Quartet plays jazz and old-style R&B for your enjoyment. The CDQ does original music, standards, and not-so standards. You might hear snatches of Professor Longhair, Ellington, the Stax Records sound, Meters, Hank Williams, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Sonny Rollins, or James Brown. Louis Armstrong is King, Ray Charles is Prime Minister, Mingus is the jester. The only other place you're likely to find a lineup anything like this group's (two saxes, trombone, keys, bass, drums, and vocals) is New Orleans, and while the CDQ is certainly indebted to the Crescent City for inspiration, the group's North Carolina roots reach back to Dave Wright's electric guitar-playing grandmother.*
