From the Lesher Center website:

Lindsay Aline has a sound comparable to popular singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan with a celtic twist. This 3-octave soprano has sung worldwide but chose to do her last summer show here in her hometown. Join her as she shares her inspiring story and breathtaking music.

Check out her website here. According to her Facebook page she’s from Concord originally so it’s great she is performing right here in Walnut Creek!

Apparently there is a drag show every 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month at Club 1220, located at 1220 Pine St. in Walnut Creek.

From their website:

 I would like to start off by introducing myself to those of you who I have not had the opportunity to meet. My name is Jon Crovo. My brother Steven and I are the owners of Club 1220. We have had the pleasure of owning the club now for 33 years. We opened the bar for the soul purpose of having a place to go and be with our own kind and NOT have to drive all the way over to San Francisco.

Has anyone been to this bar or the show before? How is it?

The Festival of Latin Culture, which took place last Saturday in downtown Walnut Creek on Locust St. right across from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce ranks up there as one of the most entertaining street events of all. So many people were dancing and smiling, kids playing, eating local dishes that you couldn’t help but enjoy hanging out there. The person in the above photo would be performing a bit later on stage as part of the dance group Loco Bloco.

Check out the dancers below putting on a great show to music with the audience copying the moves closely:

I can’t believe I forgot to post about this event last week. Don’t miss this next year!
