For more than twenty years, the non-profit, Project Arts of Plymouth, has brought performers to Plymouth to provide free musical entertainment. From humble beginnings in the summer of 1996, today's scene includes ten waterfront performances in the beautiful Amphitheater at Pilgrim Memorial State Park adjacent to Plymouth Rock. Above, this night's lawn chair brigade is ready to enjoy some funky tunes on this beautiful summer evening - and that's just what they got from Johnny Drama and his Funky Entourage. Tattoo Cowboy was the opening act. (Click on an image for a higher resolution version if your device supports that action).
That's Johnny Drama in the white shirt and blue blazer.
It was a very popular event and brought large numbers of audience to the dance area in front of the stage. I must confess, when I was near the stage to take pictures, I did linger quite a while and move my feet with the dancing throng gathered up close. You could say I was dancing but, that would be a stretch.......
I love getting images from the performer's perspective. This is what they get to see while we watch them - all those happy and eager faces with bodies moving to the beat.
What a wonderful event to enjoy - live music on a beautiful New England summer evening, outdoors, under the stars. Led by Mike Landers, the eight-person team of Project Arts volunteers does an incredible job year after year making this event happen. Come out and support this wonderful free event in America's Hometown. Music and other performing arts enrich our lives immeasurably.
