Summer 2026 Music on the Green
July 13, 2026 – Music on the Green continues its 36th season this weekend as the Mariposa County Arts Council presents another round of free live performances at the Mariposa County Art Park in downtown Mariposa.
The T-ranch Stringband will take the Art Park stage on Friday, July 17. The T-ranch Stringband is an old-timey, single-mic stringband led by singer-songwriter/banjo player, Andy Roberts. The band features Jared Jesperson (the Jespersons) on mandolin, Benny Lee Friedrich (The Trespassers) on upright bass, and Ben Goger (the Trespassers) on guitar. This will be a fun evening of original and traditional songs.

These guys will play some original and contemporary blues with acoustic guitar, harmonica and vocal harmonies. These guys are the real deal and are very active in the California blues community and beyond.
