The Music:
"Blah Blah Woof Woof": The San Jose Mercury & News has called them a "Folk Supergroup". This band built of award winning songwriters who can do it as well together as they can alone, and have been offering up live independent acoustic music for a fraction of two millennia. "Atkinson, Kincheloe & Beynon": Through their combined talents, and a brotherhood of a lifetime of performing, singer/songwriters Marty Atkinson, George Kincheloe, and Scott Beynon create a genre of music where Folk turns to Rock, then becomes Country, with a little bit of Celtic influence, ultimately delivering true Americana. "Adler & Hearne": Lynn Adler and Lindy Hearne are a traveling duo from Texas, and this is their second trip to the Niles area. With a new CD in tow - "Live at Eddie's Attic", (recorded in Decatur, GA) they deliver beautiful vocals and guitar in country-folk songs that are sentimental, timely, and humorous. "McNevin & McClellan": Raised in Niles, Michael McNevin has logged 20 years of concerts and music festivals across the U.S. He's been billed with the likes of Johnny Cash, Shawn Colvin, Utah Phillips, Donovan, and 100s of others. With a seasoned voice, accomplished guitar work, and a vivid brand of storytelling, he is a winner of the Kerrville New-folk award in Texas, and a 6-time winner of the West Coast Songwriters Association "Song Of The Year".
The Town & The Plaza:
The beautiful Niles Town Plaza sits in the center of the old train town of Niles, against the hills of Fremont. The lawn amphitheater is in front of the restored 1900's train station, with a nice view of the musicians, hills, and the old steam trains that come and go through the Niles Canyon every other Sat and Sun. The five block downtown is Mayberry with a twist - artisan shops, antique stores, great little restaurants & pubs, a silent film theater, lakes and hills, authentic antique steam trains that run through Niles Canyon, a biker bar, a head shop, and of course The Mudpuddle Shop where many of the musicians play in the evening after the daytime plaza concerts. Niles has something for everyone. Bring low lawn chairs and blankets to the plaza concert lawn, enjoy the sunshine, spend some time in the old silent film mecca where Charlie Chaplin and Broncho Billy made films 100 years ago. For those who show up without a plan, not a problem - large shade canopies are provided by the Niles Main Street Association, with plenty of park benches and a long semi-circle bench facing the concert stage. There are also several restaurants adjacent to the plaza who have 'to go' lunches for your impromptu picnic. Please no alcohol, and please keep the plaza clean. This is a family friendly event!
