Sunday, July 13, 5–7 p.m., Village Green
— from Anita Orne —
Pack up your picnic basket, blanket, sun hat, and toe-tapping shoes, and join JP, Gordon, and Anita as JP and the OK Rhythm Boys bring their fun musicality to a free Concert on the Village Green on Sunday, July 13th, from 5-7 pm.
JP and the OK Rhythm Boys features fine fiddling, swinging guitar, thumping bass, and soaring 3 part vocal harmonies. And, if JP’s ripping fiddling, Anita’s sparkling guitar and Gordon’s thumping bass and velvet singing aren’t enough for you, just wait, and “the boys” may hop onto mandolin, ukulele, banjo, or musical saw for a tune or two. The group has lots of new material they are eager to share with the hometown crowd, and there will be plenty of old favorites as well. Swing, fiddled-up 60’s rockers, hoe downs, waltzes, standards, maybe the odd Klezmer moment, (and, as always, often mixed together in one tune in ever-surprising JP and the OKRB’s fashion), and more originals and vocals all the time, JP and the OK Rhythm Boys promise an eclectic evening of musical fun and beauty. You can check them out at www.jpandtheokrhythmboys.com, and come see them live (always the best way!) in the Village Green in Eastsound, 5-7 pm on Sunday, July 13th, absolutely free.
