MINDEN, Nev.—The historic Dangberg Home Ranch is the setting for a series of summer concerts showcasing local and regional acts performing a mix of rock, blues, jazz, folk and standards. The concerts are scheduled one per month in June, July and August.
Joyce’s Fine Jewelry in Gardnerville is the sponsor. “The Dangberg family and their ranch represent a part of Carson Valley’s history that is important to me and many others.” said Norie Jenkins, owner of Joyce’s Fine Jewelry. “What a better way to celebrate our unique history and the strength of today’s community than music with a view.”
On July 21 is Out of Bounds, a five-piece, high-energy classic rock, blues and country band with a twist of rock-a-billy. Guitarist Tynan Phillips opens, bringing classic blues/rock songs.
On the stage on August 25 is , a nationally touring acoustic group with multiple lead singers. They’ve built their sound around storytelling and four-part harmonies. Vocalist Vanessa Littrell, introduces the evening in the style of Sarah McLachlan and Norah Jones.
The series is a production of the non-profit Friends of Dangberg Home Ranch, with the assistance of Littrell’s Blue Jade Studios. “Vanessa lined up exactly what I’d hoped for, a mix of unique styles and performers,” said park curator Mark Jensen. “Everyone should bring a picnic and a lawn chair, and relax.”
Each concert begins at 5:00 pm on the park’s east lawn. Tickets are $10/adults, free for 16 and younger, and are available locally at Joyce’s Fine Jewelry, Battle Born Wine, Plant It Nursery and The Entertainer.
