14 year old Mack Finkel, a one-man band, this Friday

We're delighted to welcome one of our neighbors, 14 year old Mack Finkel, for a free concert this Friday, September 17, from 7-9 p.m. Mack is one of the many children who have been born and grown up in the neighborhood in the 15 years I've been open. Seeing them as young kids watching trains come and go, and then go off to school, and then to high school has been a delight, although it definitely marks my aging as well. Mack plays guitar, percussion, harmonica, and sings in an acoustic, one-man band style. His genres include Folk, Rock, Blues and Alternative. Currently, he's releasing a single entitled "Pleasure Gone" which will be available on line shortly. Look out for an upcoming album next summer. The weather forecast looks good, bring lawn chair/blanket, picnic and a sweater. If needed, rain date is Saturday night, same time.
