A graduate of the University of Montevallo, Gary Motley is one of the most highly regarded jazz pianists in the southeastern United States. He has established a professional association with many of today's leaders in jazz, having worked with artists ranging from Dave Brubeck to Clarke Terry. Gary has been recognized with awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Great American Jazz Piano Competition, and the American Composers Forum. He has also been featured in Downbeat Magazine and on Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland (NPR).

Montevallo Art Show, April 10

On Saturday, April 10, the Fest will sponsor the Montevallo Art Show in Orr Park from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Fifty or more visual artists will exhibit and sell their work at booths along the wooded walking trail by Shoal Creek.

Eight prizes will be awarded to participating artists, with the prize for Best of Show being $1,000. Musicians and food vendors will also be on hand for the festive family occasion.
