On Aug. 9 we caught the next-to-last outdoor concert of the summer series at the Brandywine Red Clay Alliance. Local favorites the Joe Hillman Band ("he can fix your porch AND play the mandolin!") performed a delightful set of traditional tunes, including the classic "Shady Grove," and put a bluegrass spin on songs by the Grateful Dead, Bob Marley ("Wait in Vain") and Bob Dylan ("Touch of Gray"). The trio also comprised Jordan Rast (guitar and fiddle) and Charlie Muench (upright bass).
The final show at BRC (I know, I still call it the BVA, too) is Scott Pemberton, "all the way from Portland, Oregon!" on Thursday, Aug. 16. Although the website says the show starts at 7:30, a regular concertgoer told us the bands have been starting closer to 7.
Radio Free Honduras played the final show of the summer series at Anson B. Nixon Park on Aug. 8 and may have been my favorite of the season. I even bought their CD.
