dance music with touches of the blues, island tunes, Afro beats,
Cajun jams, country music and funk. Members are Joanna Boyd on
vocals, Steve Cohen on bass and vocals, Ian Cunningham on drums,
Wayne Kirby on guitar and accordion and Greg Olson on strings, flute
and vocals.
Concerts on the Quad is fun for the entire family. The public is
invited to bring picnics, blankets and lawn chairs. Sorry, no pets,
skateboards, bicycles or roller skates are allowed on the Quad
during the concerts. With more than 2,000 people attending each
concert, lawn-chair seating will be separate from blanket seating in
order to preserve sight lines; please look for signage when arriving
on the Quad. Check the Café a la Quad tent for snacks and beverages
from 6 to 8 p.m.
In case of rain, the concerts will be held in Lipinsky Auditorium. A
limited menu may be served on rainy evenings. Concert location
decisions are made at 5 p.m. the day of the show. Patrons may call

country, bluegrass, old time and rock n' roll.
