Griffith Park Full Of Art 2024

Every year I look forward to this event. That is not to say I have attended every one of them. Just that when I do, I feel the vibe of creativity. The openness to express one's self. Sort of makes me wish I was an artist too, like my mom was.

Compared to other years, this years event appeared to be toward the small size. A bit greatful in a way because it made it less of a rush to see everything with fewer vendors. As always though, there were quality vendors.

One such artist friend of mine was Art by Sophia. We have been friends for a while, and I own a few pieces of her art. This time I fell in love with a larger original piece, and bought it. Found another piece from another artist that my bride bought. In all, a very enjoyable day.

Just a bunch of photographs. Some of them are just of different angles, so they may look like repeat photographs.

Bubble making lawnmower. I was fascinated with the bubbles. The child was more interested that he was pushing something important.

Griffith Central Market 6/3/2022

It is motivating experience watching and listening to local musicians on stage. It is a different vibe than big band concerts you would go to. These are our friends. The people next door. They are having fun performing for us, and for themselves, which gives you a much different connection to music. Local music is the best. Their success is your success.

Griffith Central Market has been around for a while now. It is expanding, becoming more fun for the family. The updates made to the park for this year are cool, organized. This helps make it fun.

I would like to make this a shout out Thank You to all the local musicians who play  here in Griffith, whether it be this venue or another. I appreciate you and all that you do to lift our spirits. Keep on keep'n on.

To start this evening . . .

Hot Sauce

Hot Sauce has been around. I enjoy their folk music, bringing songs from our past. We need more like this to help balance our score of music.

Of course let us not forget what has drawn us here over the years. Music yes. The "Griffith Central Market" more yes.

Funky Mojo Daddy

Blues. That is all I will write about the music they play. About the band, well, I can never say enough. They say it for me. These guys are it!

Marrakesh Express ⁓ A CSNY Experience

This band of bandits are also an anchor for the region, spreading out to let everyone know that NWI is serious. All of these members love the other musicians in NWI. They humble themselves as do the other bands. What makes this band unique is that they do a very good job bringing us together with the music from Crosby, Stills, Hash, & Young, in a presence that is their own.

Now, people know I take a lot of photographs. I am trying to limit them. However, Pete (Pete Calacci) and I have been friends for 10 years now. He and The Robots were the first band I photographed. This evening Pete gave me a lot of photo opportunities. A big thanks to the lighting and sound for making this vibe for me.

A big thanks to all for this evening. I will post links to websites and social media later. I need to get this out before then.
