Events
In recent years the Little High neighborhood has hosted a series of backyard concerts, story telling for children and adults, garden days, summer picnics, bonfires, food drives, clothing drives, experts on various topics, assorted political candidates, and public officials.
We're always interested in hosting or supporting neighborhood events, so let us know if you have an idea for an event that would be enjoyable for the neighborhood.
Neighborhood Storytelling Night, Sunday, Oct 4
The Last (for a while) Backyard Neighborhood Concert
CANCELLED due to the weather
Music Today (Aug 9) at the Farm
The backyard concert series continues today at 4:30pm at the Farm (look for the historical marker on East Jefferson).
There will be two performances:
The Troublemakers (Owen Brennan and Claire) — country-gospel harmonies with guitars.
Patrick Keese – Multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter.
Social Distancing
If you need a mask, one will be provided for you while supplies last. You can request a mask in advance by writing to
The Schedule
The next performance is scheduled for Saturday, September 12 and features the Meriwether Players and the Angst City Ramblers. ACR just finished recording Let It Bleat, a concept album exploring the pastoral themes and the tonal dissonance potentiality of common barnyard animals.
If you are a musician we inadvertently overlooked and you would be willing to do a small performance for the neighborhood, please contact Sumner Brown.

Please Practice Social Distancing
Everyone did a great job of social distancing at the first concert, so let’s keep up the good work. These backyard concerts were begun largely in an effort to provide a safe setting so our high risk residents and those who don’t want to take chances could get outside and enjoy the music and the company of their neighbors. So please be respectful of your neighbors and, if you have any doubt about whether you should wear a mask, read this.
