The Wednesday-night concerts at Anson B. Nixon Park have been really enjoyable so far this summer. On July 4th a big crowd turned out for the Hoppin' John Orchestra, who played New Orleans-style tunes, and the audience was just as big for Hurricane Hoss's Western swing this past Wednesday.
There's always a food vendor (or you can bring your own picnic) and ice cream from La Michoacana. Admission is free, and the concerts start promptly at 7 p.m. and end at 9 p.m. Kids and leashed dogs are welcome, and there are always plenty of both.
At the July 11 show one audience member brought along her hula hoops and amazed us with her skills. She kept the hoop going not only around her waist, and with apparently minimal effort, but around her back and legs and up one arm and then the other. There for a while she even had two hoops going!
I'll can't guarantee she'll return, but here's the schedule for the remaining shows:
July 18: Matt Cappy Quintet
July 25: Will Power (tribute to Tower of Power and James Brown)
August 1: Apache Trails
August 8: Radio Free Honduras
