The City of Prince George is bringing back an afternoon of food and music to the bandshell at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park on Saturday, June 28 with a free Concert in the Park.
The event will feature three musical acts from 1 to 4 p.m. that day, according to a media release issued on Wednesday, June 4.
At 1 p.m., Mexican artist Aquiles Pérez Merlos will perform his solo act known as Aquiles Tarumba. The release describes his music as “having a sound with warm and embracing melodies and harmonies, fearlessly going from folk to jazz; from alternative rock to pop.”
At 2 p.m., Prince George-based indie/folk rock band The Verdants will perform in their style said to evoke the “happy sad energy” of the late 1990s and early 2000s indie rock.
The final act coming to the bandshell stage is BC multi-instrumentalist and composer Andrew Judah.
“Andrew Judah's diverse sound is strung together by a love of evolving cinematic orchestrations and bittersweet melodies. Piecing together what others might dismiss as incompatible sounds, he has found a way to employ familiar, organic instruments with warped analog textures,” the media release said.
The event will also feature food trucks.
A second Concert in the Park is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 22 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. More details will be released online at princegeorge.ca/concertinthepark.
