One of my favorite parts of the summer are all the different concerts and music events that happen outside!
About 8 years ago I first heard Jesse Cook on PBS. He is a Canadian guitarist. Spanish influences. Beautiful! You cannot imagine how excited I was to see him in the Artown line up this year. When I saw the announcement back in January I started saving for lawn seats. At $35 a pop, and no child discount, this was an adults only evening. Thanks to our friend Vanessa, we had date night with Jesse Cook! You'll notice a laptop in one of the photos. Yes, I was writing a paper for a class. You'll also notice what looks like a wine glass, but is really a plastic non-breakable wine glass from Cost Plus World Market filled with sparking lemon juice! Finally, you'll notice cows. In my love-hate relationship with Reno, this is on the love side. There are pockets of farm land throughout the city. This park butts up against an equine stable and farm land. Hello cows on our left...and incredible state-of-the-art amphitheater on our right!
The next set of pics are from one of the watermelon on the quad nights. Tim Snyder was playing. We really enjoy his music. I am confused by the many different bands he has been in. In undergrad I remember many a night spent dancing to the rhythms of Sol Jibe. Then Sol Jibe members kept changing and soon the songs I knew by heart and could sing did not sound the same at all. Then there were other bands with names I don't remember. Tonight there was Mr. Snyder and a few people we've never seen. They sounded great! Fingers crossed one day he'll find that perfect mix that catapults him to stardom if that is what he wants. Otherwise, we'll continue to enjoy a Reno favorite.
