Music in the Park at Creek Park

San Anselmo Arts Commission to Sponsor Free Music in the Park Concert

Series Throughout the Summer

The San Anselmo Arts Commission is excited to announce the

line-up for the Music in the Park free concert series, which takes place in

Creek Park every Sunday from 1pm to 4pm. This year’s series starts on July 21st

with the “Garden Gypsies” and will run through August 18th closing with “Revolver”.

The Line-up is as follows:

July 21st: Garden

Gypsies

Garden Gypsies is a Gypsy Jazz band based in San Anselmo, CA

playing music in the Django Reinhart Gypsy Jazz style. The band consists of Tony

Crispino, mandolin; Roy Berces, guitar; Will Gibson, guitar; and Charmian

Stewart, violin.

July 28th: Bonnie

Hayes

The songs of Bonnie Hayes have always been extraordinary,

from "Shelly's Boyfriend", the post-punk badgirl anthem that put her

on the map to the authentic passion of "Have A Heart" and "Love

Letter," which restored Bonnie Raitt to superstardom with the

multi-platinum, multi-Grammy-winning CD Nick of Time. Writing for artists as

diverse as Bette Midler, Robert Cray, Adam Ant, David Crosby, Booker T and the

MG's, and Cher, Hayes has continued to craft songs one critic described as

"sparkling clockwork mechanisms with a tendency to do the unexpected."

This will be Bonnie’s last Bay Area performance before she relocates to the

east coast to take up the position of chairman of the songwriting department of

the Berklee College of Music.

August 4th: Savannah

Blu
