The Edison Foundation’s 18th annual Holiday Evening event will be held
on Thursday, December 3, 2015, at the Piqua Campus and will feature the
renowned Jakarta Band, as the headlining entertainment for the night’s
festivities.
Proceeds from Holiday Evening directly support Edison’s General
Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance to more than
4,000 traditional and non-traditional students throughout their
academic pursuits at Edison.
The evening’s festivities begin with hors de ‘oeuvres at 6:30 p.m.,
followed by a special performance from The Jakarta Band at 8 p.m. The
Jakarta Band is a highly sought-after old-school funk and R&B band
that plays a variety of music ranging from disco to soul, to hip-hop
and soft rock.
Band member Isaac Points has been performing for 35 years and his
expertise of funk has been proven time and time again. He has opened
for Stanley Clark and Herbie Hancock, played bass with Chuck Berry and
Tony Bennett and performed on USO tours with Joe Clemons. Band member
Jeffrey Young has enjoyed a nationally celebrated career as a
sought-after trombone player and performer and has worked with Ray
Charles, Natalie Cole, Peaches and Herb and Bobby Vinton to name a few.
