Team Shaffer reports that one of the celebrated bandleader’s former employers is to appear at Thursday night’s opener at the moated entertainment haunt. More will be revealed, and soon, as Shaffer and his Shaf-Shifters backing band sets up for performances through Saturday night and again Oct. 11-13, Nov. 29-Dec. 1 (tickets start at $49 and are on sale now).
