San Jose is blessed with many vibrant neighborhoods. I try to keep up with neighborhood events throughout the city, but my focus is on downtown/central San Jose.
        

Wednesday, July 2, 2003

This Thursday July 3 is the 4th Annual Mix 106 Concert for the Homeless in Discovery Meadow. Past concerts have featured name brand talent like Smash Mouth, Michelle Branch, and the Bangles.

But this year's show, even without the household names, is probably the best talent we've ever showcased in one day. Dana Glover is a very hot singer songwriter from North Carolina with gospel roots and Cheryl Crow chops. This woman can BELT out a tune, and you may have heard her song "RAIN" on Mix 106, and lots of other adult stations like KFOG and ALICE. Josh Kelley is also from the South - Mississippi by way of Atlanta, actually - and is one of the new young male singer-songwriters climbing the charts. His song "AMAZING" sounds like a young Dave Matthews, who incidentally is a big fan. And Chantal Kreviazuk is one of the top female pop stars in Canada, recently beating out Alanis Morissette and Celine Dion for a coveted JUNO award - the Canadien Grammy. If you listen to Mix 106, you've heard her powerful "IN THIS LIFE" single.

Also on the bill, returning from San Diego is Taming Ingrid who burned up the second stage last year, Emaneht, who could easily be mistaken for No Doubt, and Tiana Noyes, our local version of powerhouse alternative.

THIS IS A GREAT SHOW, people, and I''m not just saying that because I want to sell beer. Well, actually I DO want you to buy beer [or wine, or water, or soda], because all proceeds from beverages, and a significant portion of the food as well, benefit the homeless programs of EHC. You can really help just by coming down and enjoying an amazing show, so please do.

This is the total family show - all ages are welcome, and there is lots of fun and games and rides in kidland.

Oh, and just in case you didn't know:
THIS IS A FREE SHOW!

Feel free to forward this entire email to your entire list. Because everyone is looking for something FREE and FUN to do on July 3. After all, it's not like you have to work the next day...
