Our neighbors in Phoenix Hill are looking for a few good musicians

Our friends in Phoenix Hill are looking for talented people to perform at their farmers' market, so I thought I'd pass this along:

Dear music-related friends,

The Phoenix Hill Farmers' Market is going well again in its 3rd season. We have a good customer base and wonderful vendors. The Steering Committee is currently trying to find ways for the market to take the next step from being a great farmers' market to becoming a great neighborhood gathering place as well. We are hoping to add some new features to the market, and one of those is some sort of cooking demonstration and/or music/entertainment each week.

We are trying to schedule a local music performer/entertainer at each of the Farmers' Market days for the rest of the season (through October 27). The market is every Tuesday from 3 - 6:30 p.m at 829 E. Market St. starting May 12. We are thinking maybe that the person/group would perform from 4:00 - 6:00 (but are flexible). They can open their guitar case, fiddle case, basket. etc. for tips. If they have CDs, they can set up a table and sell them. We are unable to pay anything at this time, though we are trying to figure out ways to compensate for their time and talent. The farmers are usually very generous at the end of the market day as well! We are hoping to get a calendar together soon, and get it out in the media. Please feel free to send this to anyone that you think might be interested. If you are a musician/entertainer and are interested, please let me know.

You can email me or call me at 583-7133.

Thanks, Cindy Brown Kinloch
