The Castro Valley Library is thrilled to announce the lineup for the 2024 Summer Concert Series. Taking place on the second Thursday evening of the month from July through September. The shows feature a diverse collection of artists and musical genres.
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 headlines our last show on Thursday, September 12 at 6:30 p.m. Recognized for their tight arrangements, tasteful picking, and distinguished songwriting, BCB have quickly established themselves as one of California’s most prominent up-and-coming string bands.
No registration is required for these shows. Bring your lawn chairs…bring the family…bring a picnic!
