Hello Summer … Hello Sunshine! The start to the 2024 summer season has been busy, beautiful and warm! Our family has been taking advantage of the evening sunshine by going biking, hiking and listening to live music! Cassidy and I love to dance and usually can be found grooving in the front row! There are so many family friendly concerts in our area and I love watching the next generation discover rhythm and confidence through music. Below is a list of the local free music events in our area and a couple of the larger venues too. Make sure to click on each link for the most up to date information and if you see our little family out and about make sure to say hello!
