Cool down with free, live bluegrass and blues bands, The GrassKickers and Steve Johnson & Those Bobtones, at Mariposa's Music on the Green, Friday and Saturday, 7PM - 9PM on the Art Park lawn.
The GrassKickers, a traditional, contemporary & original bluegrass group from Fresno, return Friday evening after a long absence from the Art Park Stage. A stand-out of several Music on the Green concerts, past audiences have delighted in this band's tight vocal harmonies, instrumental prowess, & keen sense of humor.
On Saturday, Steve Johnson & Those BobTones bring powerful electric blues, featuring the international blues guitar star & recording artist, Steve 'Mouse' Johnson. Mouse & the Bobs – the Merced band he started out with 36 years ago – have graced the Art Park Stage many times since 2004, each time thrilling the audience (often in record breaking numbers) with their world class, hard driving sound.
Remember to bring plenty of water, an outdoor chair or blanket, and your coolest dance moves for two of Mariposa's long-time favorites.
