FOSEL was once again able to present our exciting summer Jazz & Blues concerts in Library Park this July /August.

FOSEL is so grateful to once again be able to enjoy live music with friends and neighbors in South End Library Park.

July 26th, August 2nd, and August 16th were beautiful, warm and breezy evenings, perfect for Pat Loomis and Friends’ Jazz & Blues concerts in the Park. When the music started, the Park filled with happy listeners singing along and clapping. This year Pat was featured with several bands offering up a wonderful mix of jazz and blues pieces that pleased everyone—seated, standing, or lining the fences.

On July 26th Pat Loomis and Friends played music from their recent album, It’s About Time; on August 2nd Pat played with Zeke Martin and the Oracle; and on August 16th, he played with Sarah Seminski and Friends.

FOSEL’s August 30th concert featured International Strings for the first time. The group included a talented, polyglot vocalist who sang in French, Spanish, Italian and English.  The violinist was a terrific showman, very animated and able to switch between a violin (that was blue and electric!) and a banjo in a single beat. The audience was happy and relaxed and loved the show.

Thanks to all who made these music-filled evenings so delightful!
