- - LITERATURE ON THE LAWN FEATURING ANGELA LLOYD'S STORYTELLING CONCERTS
–
LITERATURE ON THE LAWN FEATURING ANGELA LLOYD'S STORYTELLING CONCERTSOne of the qualities to anticipate in Angela Lloyd’s storytelling concerts is the music in the air with a washboard heartbeat. Her eclectic repertoire of stories, songs and poetry come from oral and literary traditions as well as the vinyl LP collection her parents collected in the 1950’s and 60’s. Listen for tunes with musical accompaniment on Washboard, Autoharp, Cuatro, spoon and bell.
We’ll be gathering outside the public library under the tree shade and spin of Angela’s sunbrella. Wishes take wing when a young boy collects the wet coins from a New Orleans public fountain.Stories share ancient instructions on being resourceful in difficult times.
This event starts at 7pm on September 5th at the Riverside Public Library, located at 3581 Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside, CA 92501.
This event is free and open to the public.
