Jazz & Beyond Carson City Music Festival continues with performance by Carl Sonny Leyland

As a child growing up on the southern coast of England, Carl Sonny Leyland was drawn to the American music he heard on LP records. At age 15, he discovered boogie-woogie, went to the piano, and began on a path that would lead to his induction into the Boogie Woogie Piano Hall of Fame. As part of the Carson City’s Jazz and Beyond festival, Leyland will take the stage from 7 to 9 p.m. today at the Brewery Arts Center, 511 W. King St.
