Tiki Daddy
Friday, July 13, 2012 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Outdoor concerts on the north lawn at the Arts Center.
Tiki Daddy from the distant shores of Cold Spring, NY, is John Harms (Guitar/Vocals), Art Labriola (Lap steel Guitar) and Al Hemberger (Bass/Vocals).
It's Hawaiian inspired music that combines the swingin' acoustic archtop with the undeniably seductive tricone steel. Tracing the influence of the early adopters of slide guitar into jazz, country and blues, Tiki Daddy plays with a period of time when the Hawaiian invasion was in full force and the sound of the steel guitar mesmerized and hypnotized musicians and record buyers alike.
Because of the generosity of Friends of Kent Library, Radovich & Dean Music, Kent Liquors, and Joan Iacono Law, the concerts are pay-what-you-wish.
Arrive early with a lawn chair or blanket. Vendors Carmel Bagel, Johnny Gelato Ice Cream and Johnny’s Fire Dogs will be on-site starting at 6:15.
In the event of rain, the concert will be held indoors at the Center.
