RE: Milkshake Mayfield Returns to the Historic Ritz Theatre on February 9, 2023
Toccoa, GA – January 30– Milkshake Mayfield has circled the world, gracing national and international
stages, but on Thursday, February 9th, at 7pm, he returns to his hometown to take the stage at the
Historic Ritz Theatre for a Night at the Ritz performance.
It is no wonder that the late legendary radio host, “Tippy” Calloway, befittingly announced Milkshake as
trumpeter extraordinaire. His music presentation mirrors the legacy of jazz greats. He’s performed with
a ‘who’s who’ among contemporary jazz giants - Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, mentor Clark Terry,
Wynton Marsalis, Cab Calloway, Freddie Hubbard, and many others. His astounding jazz portfolio
includes performances/opening acts with the SOS band, Bobby Byrd & the JB’s, Michael Franks, Alex
Bugnon, Kevin Eubanks, and Maysa, formerly of Incognito.
As anyone can tell, Milkshake and the Milkshake Quintet can be found most anywhere in the World
where smooth jazz is heard on local, national and international stages. When not performing, Milkshake
can be found mentoring youth and young musicians.
Night at the Ritz, a regular event series at the Historic Ritz Theatre, is funded, in part, by generous
grants received from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Georgia Council for the Arts. Tickets
for all shows may be purchased online at www.ritztheatretoccoa.com or at the Main Street office inside
City Hall. Adult tickets are $10, children under 12 and students with an ID are $5. Doors open at 6:00.
For more information on Milkshake Mayfield’s performance or Night at the Ritz, please contact Ritz
Theatre General Manager Tami Mayhugh at tmayhugh@cityoftoccoa.com or via phone at 706.244.0039.
