Music on the Green – the free summer concert series brought to you by The Mariposa County Arts Council and its many fine sponsors - presents live in concert, The Blue Skies Trio (featuring vocalist Sunny Wright) on Friday, July 7, and The Danny Millsap Band on Saturday, July 8, 2017.
The Blue Skies Trio
Inspired by the classic piano-bass-drum trios and small Jazz combos of the 40s to the present day, the seasoned, world class musicians that make up The Blue Skies Trio are skilled at playing both smooth, and high energy Jazz music; a true American art form. Singing with the trio, will be guest vocalist Sunny Wright, who wowed the attendees of the Mariposa Rotary Art & Wine Festival this year.
The Danny Millsap Band
Honky Tonk veterans, The Danny Millsap Band, return to the Art Park Stage after their successful debut last year, playing and singing real Country Western music (another true American art form), in the old school style of the genre. Classic Country, as opposed to the modern Country Pop heard on today’s Country radio format. Millsap, along with his band’s rootsy, good time rhythm and downhome playing, will also be performing a remarkable Johnny Cash tribute set on Saturday, true to the “outlaw” form.
All performances begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Mariposa County Art Park, located on Hwy. 140, between 4th and 5th Streets, in historic downtown Mariposa, CA. Free parking on 5th Street along the Creek Walkway to the Park, also providing handicapped access.
The shows are free to the public – tips for the performers will be solicited, encouraged, and appreciated.
