Tonight is the first installment of Bands, Beer, and Bums: The Court Square Concert Series that will continue every Wednesday night until October 17. Garry Goin and G3 will kick it off tonight. They, of course, are EP Delta Kitchen’s house band, on a one-week hiatus while the club brings in an Elvis impersonator for the week.
Who knows, maybe the CCC’s Lee Warren will be out at the park interviewing people for his Definitely Downtown! TV show:
“So, what is it about the concert series that you like the most – the bands, the beer, or the bums?”
“Well, Lee, there’s some fantastic music here, and it’s always nice to enjoy a frosty beverage. But for me, the bums are the element that really makes the Court Square series what it is. They keep it real, you know what I mean? You can just feel their presence here… and you can certainly smell their presence, too.”
(Lee approaches another concertgoer) “So, what is it about the concert series that you like the most – the bands, the beer, or the bums?”
“Oh, most definitely the bums, Lee. They provide so many opportunities for people who come to these concerts to express their generosity. I’ve only been here 20 minutes, and already I’ve had five opportunities to give people ’bout fitty-three cent – see, there’s one of them over there, drinking something out of that paper bag.”
Event runs from 5:30 to 8:30 PM. Picnics, lawn chairs, and blankets welcome. Complete lineup for the 10-week concert series available here.
