The next neighborhood backyard concert is Thursday, July 31, 7pm, in the very well shaded and cool backyard of 1208 East Jefferson Street (the house with the Awesome Table and Awesome Little Library). The featured performer is Josh Mayo, a veteran of the local music scene whose star is clearly on the rise. It was a very pleasant surprise to discover he lives in our neighborhood!
Just to remind everyone that these backyard concerts are still very much open to the participation of neighborhood amateur musicians, Jonathan Rice will open the show with a few instrumental acoustic guitar tunes from the Dada school of guitar playing. One music critic described Jonathan Rice’s instrumental guitar playing as a “delightfully rapid blur of arpeggiation that tends to linger unironically in dissonance and unreason” (Acoustic Guitar for the Apocalypse, Oct/Nov, 1982). Jonathan Rice doesn’t sing (his vocal chords were strained during his service in the Spanish Civil War), so he will be joined at the end by a singer/secret mystery guest with an amazing voice and very deep connections to our neighborhood.
