Summer Concert Series Returns
Bring your lawn chairs…bring the family… and bring a picnic. The Castro Valley Library is again sponsoring its free Summer Concert Series, which will take place on the second Thursday evening of each month from July through September.
These are outdoor events held in the library’s parking lot on Norbridge Avenue, so parking will be very limited. No registration is required for these shows.
The shows feature a diverse collection of artists and musical genres. The 2024 lineup is as follows:
First up is Dee Coco & Co. on Thursday, July 11 at 6:30 p.m. You’ll enjoy the ultimate party band. Dee Coco Johnson and her band do it all, covering your favorite R&B, Funk, Soul, and Rock songs. They’ll have you up and dancing.
Next, on Thursday, August 8, at 6:30 p.m., is local vocalist and blues harmonica virtuoso Mark Hummel. Mark, a Grammy nominee and winner of two Blues Music Awards, will blow you away with his performances of West Coast blues, Delta blues, Chicago blues, swing, and jazz.
Broken Compass Bluegrass (BCB) headlines the last show on Thursday, September 12 at 6:30 pm. Recognized for its tight arrangements, tasteful picking, and distinguished songwriting, BCB has quickly established itself as one of California’s most prominent up-and-coming string bands.
As a reminder, the library cannot supply chairs for these events, and alcoholic beverages are prohibited on Alameda County Library property.
