Children’s Night
Aaron Nigel Smith and the FUNdamentals Band
An uptempo and exciting approach to music and movement. How cool is Aaron Nigel Smith? He’s been asked to join PBS’ “Between the Lions.” I’ve never seen this program, but if you a parent who’s in the know on that one, then that should tell you how good this guy is.

America Music
Delgado Brothers- Monrovia based
Latin blues band with plenty of soul and funk. Sponsored by Darrell G. Brooke, Attorney at Law. Isn’t it cool that a some local boys can hang together and make music? Ian and I weren’t invited to their new album release party in June, but you can sample some tracks on their Web site. The new album is called “Let’s Learn to Fly.”

Artful music from French artist, mixing acoustic and electronic.

Jazz Night
Barbara Morrison
Jazz and blues classics. I heard her sing at the Lindygroove. Go! This lady was born and raised in Michigan and her vocal talent has been on the “Tonight Show” with Jay Leno and was featured on the soundtrack of Denzel Washington’s “The Hurricane.” Need I say more?
