Last week we headed out to Three Sisters Park for the evening for the Soulpatch Celebration. We had a good time with friends, even introducing several to bands they hadn’t heard before!
(Isn’t it a great feeling when you just KNOW one of your friends is going to love the band that’s about to play!?)
It was a more intimate show with Sun Stereo than we had experienced before, and this is one of those times the smaller crowd at the end of the night made it that much more fun. Valerie Wolfe (center) organized the event and enjoyed every minute of the Sun Stereo set.
While I love the venue and we had a lot of fun in person… the photos and the videos don’t do the experience justice. It was definitely one of those “you just had to be there” events…
You can download a video, but you can’t download a live music experience
Check out the photos and videos of Captain Crayfish, Formerly the Fox, and Sun Stereo in this post while you make your live music to-do list for this weekend… and then GRAB A FRIEND AND GO SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC!
appreciate what we do?
