Thursday, December 12th, 2024
Beyond Exceptional Dentistry, a premiere cosmetic dental practice serving patients from Savannah, the Low Country and across the nation, is the Presenting Sponsor of the 2025 Savannah Music Festival’s Winter Bash on Saturday, January 25 at Plant Riverside District. The 2025 Winter Bash, an elegant party and concert, features musician Matthew Whitaker, who has been blind since birth and has been called “the next Stevie Wonder.” Proceeds from the Winter Bash benefit Savannah Music Festival‘s artistic programming and year-round free education programs and community outreach events.
“We are excited to be the Presenting Sponsor for the 2025 Winter Bash and to help raise funds to support Savannah Music Festival’s mission,” Dr. Ryan Reeves, DDS, of Beyond Exceptional Dentistry, said. “Savannah Music Festival is a great asset for our community, and we are looking forward to this unique winter wonderland event and what is sure to be an amazing musical performance by Matthew Whitaker.”
Whitaker began his musical journey at age three when he received a small keyboard from his grandfather, eventually teaching himself how to play the Hammond B3 organ at age nine. When he was 13, Whitaker became the youngest artist to be endorsed by Hammond in its 80-plus year history.
Matthew Whitaker has collaborated with industry greats such as pianist and multiple Grammy-award winning composer, vocalist, and band leader Jon Batiste; Grammy-winning bassist Christian McBride; NEA Jazz Master, violinist Regina Carter; pianist, composer, and musical director Ray Chew, bassist, composer, producer Derrick Hodge, and Anderson Paak during the Paralympics 2024 closing ceremony.
“Matthew Whitaker's phenomenal debut at the 2024 festival was a real highlight and a show who many say is one of the best they have ever seen." said Savannah Music Festival Executive Director Gene Dobbs Bradford. "It will be a real treat for the 250 people who will see him in the intimacy of District Live. I am not surprised that tickets are going fast for this special evening! Our goal is to raise $130,000 at Winter Bash to further our mission to present exceptional live music by artists like Matthew Whitaker that entertains, educates, inspires, and unites communities.”
