MARIPOSA — On Friday, June 23, Music on the Green will feature DK and the Ritz, a blend of old favorites from the 1940s through the soft sounds of folk rock. Based on vocal harmonies and sweetly played piano and acoustic guitar music, DK and the Ritz brings back our favorite memories in music. With the soft powerful vocals of Kim Barnett and the bright harmonies and leads of Danny Croft, DK is backed up by the smoothing percussion and harmonies of Mike Naranjo and deep bass tones of Tom Phillips.
Yosemite Songwriting Retreat.
On Saturday, June 24, the Yosemite Songwriter Retreat returns to Music on the Green.
