For three hopefully warm Friday evenings beginning June 14, a stellar line up of musical talent will be enlivening the twilight hours at Plaza Park at the corner of Moraga Road and Mt. Diablo Boulevard. Earlier than ever this year, before everyone goes on vacation in August, starting on Flag Day from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., Rock the Plaza's complimentary concerts are harmoniously poised to groove into the weekend and inspire the inner groupie in Lamorinda residents.
Kicking off the series is Azure Moon playing rockin' country, funky R & B and classic hits, followed by The Floorshakers on June 21, closing with the Buzztones on June 28.
The Floorshakers will be playing for an extra hour - because of summer solstice - the longest day of the year, also conveniently coinciding with a unique first-ever photography event, sponsored by the Public Art Committee to capture "A Day in the Life of Lafayette."
Calling it an opportunity to think outside the lens, photographers from Lafayette are invited to take pictures within a 24-hour time period and submit them to the city offices; winning pictures will be displayed in the Library Gallery at the Community Hall. See city website for all the details, www.lovelafayette.org.
Organized by the Lafayette Chamber of Commerce with help from Wells Fargo Bank, the city of Lafayette and Red House Studios, the music series provides a chance to socialize with neighbors at this relaxed annual event and makes it easy with food options and beverages at the park for dining al fresco.
"Lafayette has countless numbers of musicians, both aspiring and accomplished, as well as music fans," said Lafayette's Raja Singh, owner of the music studio complex Red House. "The 'Rock the Plaza' series is another great way for these musicians to share their music with the local community."
Continuing the food and music theme - for the first time ever, all three Lamorinda communities will have a Lamorinda Picnic at the Moraga Commons on Thursday, August 15 starting at 4 p.m. with fantastic Santana cover band Zeebop! playing at 6:30 p.m.
