Latin Jazz and Schoolhouse Rock at the Deer Head Inn

The Deer Head Inn, the home of jazz in the Poconos, will be featuring some great talents this weekend.
On Saturday, May 2, Marco Marcinko and his latin jazz quintet will be gracing the small stage with their presence. Marcinko remains one of the region's best drummers, and plays in bands with genres like latin jazz to rock to pop to afro funk. And he looks cool while he's doing it. (His eyes are always protected by a faded orange set of glasses, making him ready for "cool jazz drummer mode" anytime. That show will start at 7:30 pm and the cost is $12 at the beginning/$6 after 9:30 p.m.
On Sunday, The Bobettes will be joining the cast of Deer Head musicians. The Bobettes are mainly known for their work with legendary Schoolhouse Rock composer Bob Dorough. You might recognize them on such songs as "Conjunction Junction." The group is comprised of three beautiful women --- Nancy Reed, Vicki Doney, and Val Hawk. That show will be running from 5 to 8 p.m. and the cost is $5.
Might I add, the Deer Head Inn is a real neat place to go see live music. It's small, so the setting between the crowd and the entertainers is very intimate. Also, the stage is set up so that you can see from every table in the restaurant. The Deer Head is rustic, and has been the Poconos only jazz club since the 1950s.
