Engines running around the park courtesy of Poway-Midland Railroad, model trains inside, and some of San Diego’s best musical talent. Plus Marilyn McPhie keeping things on time and telling train stories! Plus Splendid Torch, first time in San Diego on tour from Boston!! Check out the Farmers Market in the morning.
Free music, no ticket needed, on the pavilion, with shaded seating:
10am Now & Then. Super versatile and talented group featuring Scott Culver, Paul Castellanos, and Carol Mellor (who will also be working sound crew). We expect they will bring as many different instruments as they can carry in one load.
11am Johnny High-Hat Combo. Johnny does his best to pack a circus, a swing dance, and a tent revival into a single set of music. We don’t get to see him often, so don’t miss this opportunity!
Noon Robin Henkel. Robin plays old bluesy songs on old funky guitars like nobody’s business, and could probably fill the whole day with train songs if we had the time. Always tons of fun!
1pm Sharon Katz & The Peace Train. Sharon and her crew will take us on a ride from South Africa to Baja to Poway, and give us the opportunity to get up and dance if we have the mind to.
2pm Joe Rathburn. Perhaps the most accomplished and versatile solo musician in San Diego, we can always count on Joe for a first-class performance on any occasion.
3pm Splendid Torch. Down home Americana filtered through the East Coast folk scene, presented by a trio of young, energetic musical standouts. We’re expecting a memorable performance!
