Every year, local singer-songwriter Autumn Sky throws a Valentine’s shindig, and this year is no different. She will be playing a show with Tre Burt at Yogurtagogo on 17th and L on the second saturday of the month (the 13th,) a day before the holiday.
As she says “The show starts at 7pm, will have no cover, is all ages, and will be hosted at a place that serves sweet treats. What’s not to love?”
Last week, local radio station 100.5 The Zone held their “Acoustic Christmas” show, featuring indie singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and UK singer-songwriter David Gray. It was a free concert at the Radisson, assuming that you donated a toy or clothing for homeless children. What a deal and a great cause too! So, did you go? If so, let us know what you thought.
You can read one review here.
Of course, we like the music best, but the whole event will be fun and it’s free!
Local musicians Ricky Berger, Autumn Sky, Katie Jane, and Drew Walker will be playing. For a schedule of who plays when, what art will be there, fashion, crafts, and other info, go here. They describe it as “A creative block party, hosted by Westfield Downtown Plaza, featuring artists, craft vendors, live music, food, drinks, a beer garden and more. And it’s all free. Twenty to 30 local artist/craft/fashion/pet vendors.” What’s not to like?
Saturday, 11/21, 12-6pm at Westfield Downtown Plaza.
