FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prince George, B.C. - The City of Prince George invites the community to an afternoon of live music and good food at Lheidli T’enneh Memorial Park bandshell on Saturday, June 28.
From 1 to 4 p.m., bring your lawn chair and join your family and neighbours for a free concert showcasing the diverse talents of Prince George’s music scene, featuring:
- Aquiles Tarumba at 1 p.m.
- Aquiles Tarumba is the solo project of Aquiles Pérez Merlos. This project was born in 2019, in the city of Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico. His music is characterized by having a sound with warm and embracing melodies and harmonies, fearlessly going from folk to jazz; from alternative rock to pop. Aquiles Tarumba has a long musical career and has worked on many projects, the most notable being Expedición Humboldt, a band that he founded and with which he has played in many venues, festivals and cities across Mexico, such as the Marvin Festival, the Lunario del Auditorio Nacional, the Youth Week in CDMX, SofarSounds, among others.
- The Verdants at 2 p.m.
- The Verdants are an indie/folk rock band based in Prince George, B.C. The band has a nostalgic yet forward moving sound that pulses with that happy sad energy reminiscent of late 90's or early 2000's indie rock.
- Andrew Judah at 3 p.m.
- Andrew Judah is a multi-instrumentalist, composer, producer, songwriter and recording artist from B.C. Fearless and meticulous, Andrew Judah's diverse sound is strung together by a love of evolving cinematic orchestrations and bittersweet melodies. Piecing together what others might dismiss as incompatible sounds, he has found a way to employ familiar, organic instruments with warped analog textures. The arrangements are playful and exploratory, with subtle rhythmic complexities. Controlled chaos. All of this diversity in sound is held together by a single thread, Andrew’s voice.
The City invites food truck owners to take part. Interested business owners can apply on the City website by June 13 at 5 p.m. A second Concert in the Park is planned for Friday, August 22 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. More details will be posted at princegeorge.ca/ConcertinthePark
