Crimson Canary Concert on the Lawn!
Aug 4 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Crimson Canary is BACK and playing a lovely evening concert for us on the Library lawn! Bring a blanket or chair, relax, and let the music move you. RAIN DATE is Friday, August 6th at 6pm.

Crimson Canary consists of guitarist/vocalist David Chu and vocalist Lonnie Chu, known for their vintage music sung in various languages. They also perform and educate about flamenco music. This year they are joined by talented vocalist and bassist Erik Valdes.

David Chu began his music career as a teen playing piano and percussion, but soon switched to guitar. An accomplished soloist, he provides accompaniment and is the group’s arranger and composer. He delights audiences with the variety of genres he plays on either guitar, including flamenco, jazz, blues, Brazilian, and even Beatles.

Lonnie Chu, manager and singer, has also played folk guitar and bluegrass mandolin and enjoys singing in various languages and genres. A professor of Spanish by day, she delights in teaching audiences how to participate in flamenco’s rhythmic hand-clapping (palmas).

Erik Valdes is a former attorney turned home-schooling dad and part time multi-instrumentalist with a passion for music and languages from all over the world.

CANCELLED: Lonesome Brothers Concert
Jul 14 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Come celebrate summer and local music with us on the Library Lawn! Happening rain or shine. In the event of rain, we will move the concert indoors.

“The Bros combine the best elements of American music with the raw honesty of their natural and totally believable lyrics. There’s real poetry here in the writing of Ray Mason and Jim Armenti that evokes the best of Hank Williams or Chuck Berry – a down-home conversational style that tells a story with vivid insight into the human condition.” –Paul Burton, Music Revue
