The skies looked ominous at the beginning of the concert in the park by Mark Unruh and his band on July 2: lightning was flashing to the northwest and thunder was rumbling ("extra bass," quipped a band member). But almost magically, the thunderstorm bypassed the park and those who stuck it out enjoyed a fantastic concert of bluegrass, jazz, gospel, yodeling and even Django Reinhardt ("Minor Swing"!) songs performed by the four talented musicians on the fiddle, guitar, bass, banjo and mandolin.
An incidental highlight was a group of adorably energetic little boys running around and, at the end, dancing up a storm in front of the pavilion.
Mark Unruh is also going to be playing at the Kennett Flash on July 12 and at the Brandywine Valley Association's free summer music series at 7:30 p.m. July 24.
