Join us for a performance by NYC performers Marika Hughes and Bottom Heavy, as well as a very special kick-off event for the Claremont 250th Celebration. Reception to follow.
MARIKA HUGHES & BOTTOM HEAVY
Marika Hughes & Bottom Heavy grab tradition by its head, reshaping the landscape of genre and sound. Marika fronts the band so naturally it makes one wonder why cellos haven’t always fronted bands. Rooted in groove—with Kyle Sanna on guitar, Fred Cash on bass, Charlie Burnham on violin, and Tony Mason on drums—Bottom Heavy instantly establishes itself as a strong new sound, flowing freely between funky instrumentals, dreamy lullaby, free improv, and killer songs. As you are charmed by her cello, her voice, and her band, you will be charmed by Marika herself: fiercely authentic, her audience an old friend invited along for the fabulous ride.
Join us for a delicious summer feast outside following the Olmsted Ensemble Concert at 5:30. Tickets are $7 for Adults, $4 for children under 12. Attendees will have the opportunity to chat with members of the Olmsted Ensemble, and enjoy a gorgeous summer day.
The menu will include:
Sausage Grinders
Shredded BBQ Chicken
Green Salad
Macaroni and other summer salads
Homemade Hummus with organic veggies and pita bread
A variety of delicious homemade desserts
