I am a Crocker Amazon based musical artist and this concert is a culmination of a grant I received from SF Arts Commission. Cantos do Povo: the Music of Milton Nascimento is a multigenerational tribute to this important and inspiring composer, and the performers are Jeff Cressman on trombone, Natalie Cressman on voice & trombone, Ian Faquini on guitar, Murray Low on keyboards, Dillon Vado on drums, David Belove on bass, Ami Molinelli Hart on percussion, yours truly on voice; Julianna Cressman choreography and dance, Molly Levy, dance, and Samara Atkins dance. This part of the year is usually beautiful in SF, so bring your picnic and beverages and come out to Jerry Garcia Amphitheatre in McLaren Park. All female-identifying salsa band Agua Pura will do an opening set. Paulo Presotto is emcee! Please mark your calendars:)
