Acoustic Charlies
This east-side house concert series moved to the back yard for 2021, and as of Tuesday cohosts Anne Katz and David Wallner reported spots were still available; email them at annedave@chorus.net to save your place. Music for the evening will be provided by The Acoustic Charlies, a trio of Chuck Bayuk (The Drunken Sailors), Chuck Gates, and honorary “Chuck” Jeff Laramie (Free Hot Lunch). The group plays classic rock and folk covers self-described as “obscurely familiar.”
press release: Tired of COVID brain? Thrilled at the arrival of better weather? Now’s the time to look ahead to live music, right in the 'hood.
After cancelling five indoor concerts last year, we tested out two fall outdoor shows with our neighbors Madeline and Bret, combining our two backyards for one big performance space. Tim and Jan Grimm from Indiana and our local favorites, Harmonious Wail, put on wonderful concerts for our live music-starved crowds. Everything went so well, we all are ready to leap into more this year. We’ve got four shows already set up, with more in the planning stages. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs, spread out safely, and join us once again.
THE ACOUSTIC CHARLIES, 7 p.m. on Saturday, August 14 (Sunday, August 15 rain date) Get down with Chuck Bayuk, Chuck Gates and Jeff “Chuck” Laramie (of “Free Hot Lunch” fame!). They play classic Americana, Folk and other top songs from the “60s and ‘70s. This trio is a blast! Cost: $20 per person.
