Free summer concerts draw crowds to Mason District Park
One of the recent shows at Mason District Park in Annandale featured
the Patty Reese Band. The video, shot by Bob Kovacs, is Reese’s version of “Piece of My Heart,” the Janis Joplin classic. “It’s not an easy song to do convincingly,
and Patty convinces from beginning to end,” says Kovacs.

On Aug. 9, Caravan of Thieves drew a large crowd to an eclectic performance, melding romantic lyrics with atonal sounds and unusual
percussion. The video here is a beautiful, romantic duet, “I Got You,” with the band’s married couple, Fuzz and
Carrie Sangiovanni.
A longer piece by Caravan of Thieves, “Monster,”
is on Kovac’s Annandale Arts You Tube channel. While most of the songs they
performed are originals, they brought down the house with their rendition of
Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

These were two really good acts. I would like to see them come back next year.
