All Little High neighborhood residents, friends, family, visitors, and persons of good will are invited to a bonfire hosted by the Little High neighborhood association on Sunday, November 10, 7-9pm in the backyard of 1201 Little High (on the corner of Little High and 12th streets). In addition to the fire, the neighborhood association will provide hot cider, s’mores-making supplies, and a few extra chairs. You should bring yourselves and maybe a folding chair in case we don’t have enough. This is a lovely opportunity to come and hang out with and get to know your neighbors. Please join us!
Events
In recent years the Little High Neighborhood has hosted a series of backyard concerts, story telling for children and adults, a garden day, experts on various topics such as the importance of native plants, annual picnics, and assorted political candidates and public officials. Our schedule for 2022 will be posted in this section of the website as soon as it's available.
Backyard Concert RESCHEDULED to August 15th, 7pm
The neighborhood backyard concert originally scheduled for tomorrow night has been RESCHEDULED to Thursday, August 15, 7pm, in the backyard of 1011 Little High Street.
Sumner & Herb will open with a short sing along and will be followed by Playing for Fun, a group of 10 talented musicians (some of whom are professionals) who gather each week at the home of Sudi Durland. This group plays everything from traditional to country to classic rock on guitar, bass, flute, harmonica and fiddle.
This event is FREE and open to the public. As always, we will pass the hat for donations to help support the Haven, the multi-resource day shelter downtown (112 West Market Street).
Our neighborhood raised $678 (not bad!) at our first two concerts of the summer. We have a chance to surpass any of our previous summer concert efforts (begun in 2020) if we can keep this momentum going.
Anya Movius, Brian Keena Thurs., July 11, 7pm
The Little High Neighborhood Association is hosting a backyard neighborhood concert TOMORROW (Thursday, July 11) at 7pm in the backyard of 1107 East Jefferson Street.

The music will start promptly at 7pm. The lights at all our concerts run on solar power — i.e., we have to wrap up when the sun goes down which is why we don’t host jam bands.

More about this week’s performers

He also presents a weekly jazz and blues program on our local radio community radio station, WTJU, 91.1FM.

1st Neighborhood Concert June 20, 7pm
Our neighborhood concert series kicks off this Thursday, June 20, 7pm, at 1118 Little High street with a great lineup:
Passionate singer, great harmonica player, and all around world-class front man Waverly Milor will team up with amazing slide guitarist Jack Roy to put on the best electric blues performance east of the Mississippi.
Singer, songwriter, and very impressive guitar player Luke Foster will follow with a set featuring original music that will leave everyone wondering why he isn’t already in Nashville and whether they can get a selfie so they can brag that they knew him back before he only did stadium tours.
We are very lucky to have these musicians living in our midst who are willing to share their extraordinary talents with us — for FREE.
ps — as always, we will pass the hat to help raise money for the Haven. Our neighborhood concert series raised over $650 last summer. Let’s try to do even better this summer!
