The free community-wide “Music at Skypark” concert series benefiting the music programs in local public schools continues on the last Sundays of August and September (August 30 and September 27). The concerts run from 2:30 to 6:00 pm at Skypark in Scotts Valley. Two bands will perform at each concert, and local businesses will offer food, drinks, and other concessions for sale, with all net proceeds going to the schools. Visit www.KiwanisoftheValleys.org for details or phone Mike Stewart at (831) 439-8018. Here’s the upcoming schedule:
Sunday August 30
Two of Music at Skypark’s longest-playing, most popular veteran bands headline the August concert: The Joint Chiefs start things off with their totally danceable fusion of funk, acid jazz and classic R&B. Extra Large follows with funky grooves rooted in blends of funk, blues, reggae riffs and Latin beats. Both bands have teamed up to produce Music at Skypark’s most well-attended concerts the last several years. It just wouldn’t be Music at Skypark without these two bands!
Sunday September 27
Their loyal fans would say that Music at Skypark saved the best for last: The Coffis Brothers & The Mountain Men return by very popular demand to headline the final concert of the season. This accomplished band with local valley roots boasts an extensive repertoire of original rock and blues tunes with simple, honest lyrics backed by the brothers’ blend of folk, blues, R&B, and rock. Opening will be Music at Skypark newcomers The Bourbon Brothers, another band of brothers with local origins. They serve up a huge variety of songs from low-key classic rock to irresistible get-on-your-feet dance tunes.
Kiwanis of the Valleys invites you to join in this wonderful community event.
