Our neighborhood’s next backyard concert is — weather permitting — Sunday August 16, in the backyard of 300 13th Street NE. Our neighborhood has the peculiar feature of having two 13th streets that are both dead ends. This concert is on the corner of E. Jefferson and 13th. The backyard gate opens at 5pm; music starts at 5:30pm. The event is free and open to all people.
** This event is a key part of our summer fundraising effort for the Haven, the multi-resource day shelter and housing resource center near Market Street Park. During the concert, contributions to the Haven will be encouraged but not required. Last summer we raised just over one thousand dollars for the Haven. This summer we hope to do even better.**
The musical guests are:
Josh Mayo, a rising star in the regional music world. If you haven’t heard Josh Mayo’s music, you haven’t lived.
The Meriwether Underground. Two outstanding singers, two solid guitar players, a drummer whose middle name is “John Henry Bonham,” a great bass player who may arrive just in time for the show, and a tastefully eclectic set list. There ain’t no more to say.
