Support local music with Sierra Madre Sue week of Aug. 17

We met a new family at our neighborhood block party in June - Gigi & Joe Hutchinson & their 2 boys, and Joe performed a great set of lively Rock & Rockabilly for us. It was the next day I realized why he looked so familiar - I've been seeing his guitar lesson flyers all around town! Joe's children's music project THE CONDUCTORS are playing this Sunday at the famous Farmers Market at 3rd & Fairfax, doing "Train-Themed Rock 'n Roll For Kids & Their Grown-ups." Sounds like a great family outing to me. C'mon - who doesn't like songs about trains??? *see details below, and picture & flyer attached.
