Save this date: Tuesday Aug. 28 at 6pm. April Boyle, organizer of the beloved Detroit Family Hootenanny CD and kids' concert series, recruited Liz Mitchell and teamed up with the folks at Ladels bookstore in Corktown for an outdoor kids concert.
Only one year into the mom thing, I had no idea who this Liz (or is it Elizabeth?) Mitchell is. But a few online searches later, it appears hipster parents everywhere love her folksy stuff. I took a quick listen and must admit (sheepishly?) that I thoroughly enjoyed Bob Marley's Three Little Birds cover. I like when little voices chirp in.
By the way, we're not talking about the Liz Mitchell of Boney M fame, but rather the one who was roommates with Lisa Loeb at Brown University, now covering songs for little ones by Francoise Hardy, Woodie Guthrie and Lou Reed. Of course, most of you probably already know this.
There's talk of asking Eph McNally's to open for event. That way, you and your family can have dinner in the park across the street before or afterwards.
