MARIPOSA — Music on the Green will feature two of Mariposa’s favorite local bands on June 30 and July 1. On Friday, June 30, husband and wife duo The Jespersons return to the Green. Jared Jesperson is a multi-instrumentalist, mainly playing guitar with the group and Kaye Jesperson plays cello bass and is the lead vocalist and songwriter.

On Saturday, July 1, The Soul Galaxy will perform an electric rock and blues concert. The Soul Galaxy are no strangers to the Arts Park stage and have wowed audiences there many times through the years. Featuring blues guitar legend Tim Hagar, drummer extraordinaire Jon Kidd, and bass master Charles Green, this power trio is sure to bring it.
All performances begin at 7:00 p.m. (unless otherwise noted) at the Mariposa County Arts Park (5013 Hwy 140) in historic downtown Mariposa, CA.
Parking is available along 4th and 5th Street. The lower 5th Street parking lot provides an accessible pedestrian path to the Arts Park through the Mariposa Creek Parkway entry.
Tips for the performers will be solicited, encouraged, and appreciated.
A complete schedule of the talent performing throughout this summer season can be found here.
