We expect to fire up the tunes with a gentle soundcheck at 12 noon. Soon after, the live music will commence, and we have a strong and wide-ranging group of friends and neighbors who are adding their talents to the afternoon’s festivities.

•Kaley Marie has agreed to sing some of her songs as she has for the past 3 years.

•Grace Carroll will gift us with a youthful arrangement for cello and boombox.

•Brooklynn Thesenvitz, guitarist from Gregory Heights Elementary and School of Rock.

•Aaron and Malica Richards could perform a duet for guitar and keyboard; or they might present 2 solo or ensemble acts. The jury is currently out!

•Michael Clune and Sleep ‘Til Noon will generate some north end rhythm and groove for your swaying pleasure.

•Ocular Proof, James DeJoie’s long time improvising ensemble, will perform selections from their new recording.

•The DooWahs will finish the excitement with their unique brand of other people’s music. There could be an appearance of John Bigelow on tuba or lawn chair.

We will once again be accepting school supplies for our local elementary schools. Y’all have done a great job of this the past 3 years. Keep it up!

Cheers! The BigeloWhite and Duncan Co-Backyard Production Team
