San Andreas Turner Park is HOT and it is not about the weather
San Andreas, CA...Please join your neighbors and friends for a free evening of original modern indie rock music performed by The Hot Dark at Turner Park in San Andreas on Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Dubbed “a band to watch” by The Indie Rock Café , The Hot Dark is a refreshing, youthful, and highly talented Murphys-based band playing a modern sound it refers to as “post-synth sax-rock”. Featuring guitar, bass, saxophone, keyboards, and drums, The Hot Dark began as a studio duo called “Descendants of Prospectors” and has now evolved into a full band inspired by The Talking Heads, Burt Bacharach, Prince, and, yes, Igor Stravinsky. The Indie Rock Café describes vocalist Kiel Williams’s voice as “so similar at times to that of Robert Smith’s (The Cure) that it’s almost surreal”. Williams and Owen Ridings bring vocals and guitar. They are joined by Andy Merrill on bass, Rick Moore on keyboard and sax, Gabriel Cronos on keyboard, and Nicholas Lefler on drums. The Hot Dark released its debut album, “Live Young” in March 2015.
The Calaveras Arts Council brings you this acclaimed band as part of its free and family-friendly Music in the Park series. The Hot Dark will perform from 6:30-8:00 p.m., and folks are encouraged to bring their own low chairs, blankets, and picnic provisions to complete this "hump day" celebration. There are several restaurants and a grocery store near Turner Park which have food and beverages available.
Each summer, the non-profit Calaveras Arts Council brings together locals and visitors alike for festive evening gatherings of free live music and do-it-yourself picnicking. While the events are free of charge, optional donations--whether made in advance or "dropped in the bucket" during the event--are always welcome and go a long way towards help the Council continue its mission of supporting musical, visual, and performance arts in Calaveras County--with a focus on local talent. The Arts Council's Music in the Park series takes place every few weeks from June through August in the central gathering places of various small communities within Calaveras County. The complete schedule for the 2015 Music in the Parks (MIP) series can be found on the Calaveras Arts Council's website calaverasarts.org.
Turner Park is located in San Andreas. Treat Ave. East at Wells Fargo Bank. The park is on the left just past the Community Covenant Church, where you can park.
