The Plaza is located at 37592 Niles Blvd Fremont, CA 94536. About Wooster:Described by various music critics as “smoldering,” “top-notch,” “one-of-a-kind,” “addictive” and “like a breath of fresh air,” the Wooster sound is a party-ready mix of California reggae and Aretha Franklin-esque soul, spiced up with hints of Motown, surf, Latin rock, funk and hip-hop. Listen closely, and you might detect a little Chili Peppers swagger, a little Dave Matthews bounce or a little Led Zep muscle. The end result? Think Sublime after anger management, or No Doubt on soul serum. Find out more at www.woosterband.com About Michael McNevin:A Niles native, Michael McNevin started his career with a six-month stint in New York City, cutting his troubadour teeth in the subways and streets of Greenwich Village. Now a veteran of the folk scene, Michael has logged 20 years of concerts across the U.S., and he's been a main stager at the Strawberry, Kerrville, High Sierra, and Philadelphia music festivals. Billed in clubs and halls with the likes of Johnny Cash, Shawn Colvin, Donovan, and 100s of others on the songwriter circuit, he has a seasoned voice, accomplished steel string guitar work, and a vivid brand of storytelling. He is joined by another Niles local Patrick McClellan on bass and vocals, and other surprise guests sitting in as "The Spokes". More info about Michael is at www.michaelmcnevin.com About Niles & The Town 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, an oasis of history and beauty. Niles has something for everyone. Spend some time in the old silent film mecca where Charlie Chaplin and Broncho Billy made films 100 years ago.
