The Grant County Community Concert Association presents Good Shot Judy on Thursday, October 24th in the WNMU Fine Arts Theater at 7 PM.
How do you create a show that tickles your memory and makes you want to stand up and dance? You take talent, family, and love of a genre that brings a big sound and spectacle to the stage.
Good Shot Judy was started by brothers Brett and Jeff Cahoon as they stepped away from their successful punk band Ten Years from Now and followed another interest in old-time jazz standards. Starting with a small combo they found the music needed more and filled out Good Shot Judy with a full complement of horns, percussion and voice.
Come and enjoy a big amp jazz band that has one-foot dancing in the past and one in the here and now.

Successful Outlaw to screen at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Silco Theater, during the Silver City Community Film Festival
Documentary filmmaker David Luis Leal Cortez's latest film follows on the life of a silversmith whose life is steeped in New Mexico history.
Successful Outlaw follows the life of builder and biker, Daniel "Pepe" Rochon, as he builds a 4000 sq. foot, off grid, passive solar adobe hacienda on Taos Mesa. During the 1970s, Pepe lived and worked at the Mabel Dodge Lujan House when Dennis Hopper was owner and is a rare individual who continues to live the ideals of the counter culture crusaders who arrived and started communes in Northern New Mexico in the '60s. Successful Outlaw, has had the help of Dennis' brother, David, who was Rochon's partner in building many wonderful adobe structures in the region, including the former Return Gallery and the Ed and Trudy Healy Home in Arroyo Hondo, NM.
