Blues music will again fill the air at the historic 508 Park
Ave. building on Saturday, March 23.
The free, all-ages Music @ 508 Park will feature guitarists
Holland K. Smith, Hunter Hendrickson and Troy Cartwright delivering upbeat
country music along with blues riffs and solos at the south side of 508 Park in
the community garden, just east of The Stewpot. Gates open at 4 p.m. and the
concert will conclude with an “All Star” jam by 7 p.m.
“We are excited to have a new generation of local blues and
country artists stepping forward to pay tribute to the history of 508 Park,
where artists such as Robert Johnson and Bob Wills & his Texas Playboys
recorded,” said the Rev. Bruce Buchanan, executive director of the Stewpot.
“This is the first in a series of concerts that 508 Park will host.”
Following the Stewpot Alliance’s successful Soup’s On
fundraiser luncheon that focused on 508 Park, this friend-raising concert will
celebrate music-making with our friends and neighbors. These local musicians
donating their time and talent to perform will invite their fans, and we want
to extend hospitality to them.
