Tuesday, July 29: Gemini

GEMINI celebrates with their audiences the fun, warmth, and humor of family life. Kids and adults love to sing with them! From start to finish, a family concert with the twin brothers abounds with rousing sing-alongs, hand motion tunes, folk tales, and music from around the world. The highlights of their shows are Gemini's original, sparkling songs about the everyday experiences of childhood and growing up. San and Laz combine uncannily matched voices with wonderful musicianship on nearly a dozen instruments. The twin brothers have an upbeat flair for involving everyone, from tots to grandparents, in the music making. The result is a dynamic show ranging from laughter, grins, and boisterous fun, to the magic of hushed lullabies and tender ballads. Bring your lawn chair and come on down to Lawrence Street Park in Zeeland. Lawrence Street Park is located on Lawrence Street between State Street and Pine Street, one block south of Central Avenue. Concessions will be available during each concert as a fundraiser for The Bridge Youth Ministries.
