Here's a shout out to a group of amazing residents who are volunteering their time and talent to help invigorate downtown Provo. They're volunteering, as in no pay, community service, labor of love. And they do love Provo. They are talented enough to work in far off places, but they choose to be here.
The group is the Cultural Identity Committee of Provo City's Center Focus project. Susan Bradford, a local community activist, is chair of the committee. Also serving are Courtney Kendrick of c jane enjoy it and c jane's guide to provo; singer/songwriter Mindy Gledhill; local photographer and creator of the 30 Strangers in 30 Days Justin Hackworth; and local music expert Sarah Wiley.
They have created a concert series for August, September, and October this year, starting at the Covey Center, and then moving to the rooftops:
August 2, 7:30 p.m., Covey Center, Mindy Gledhill's "Anchor" album release concert. The proceeds will benefit the arts in downtown Provo. It will also feature special guests The Thrillionaires. The concert is sponsored by c jane enjoy it.
September 10, 8:30 p.m., roof of the Provo Town Square parking terrace, FREE concert by Brooke White of American Idol fame and Benton Paul, co-sponsored by Sammy's Cafe.
October 1, 8:30 p.m., same rooftop, FREE concert by The Lower Lights.
Susan Bradford's advice: "Come downtown and eat at one of the fabulous restaurants downtown, then enjoy a free concert featuring some great talent."
Thanks for having a blog. I would have never known about things like this. I think it makes Provo hip and cooler. Thanks!
