PRM's Free Summer Concert Series Concludes Sept. 13th with Matt Jaffe and Extra Large!

Point Richmond Music’s summer concert season concludes this Friday, September 13th with Matt Jaffe and Extra Large, two favorite return performers of the series. The free street festival takes place from 5:30pm to 8:00pm in historic downtown Point Richmond (Park Place between West Richmond and Washington Avenues). In addition to free music, enjoy street food, an opportunity drawing, face-painting, book sales by the Friends of the Richmond Public Library, and dancing in the streets. 

Local restaurants offer a wide array of cuisines, and concert-goers can pair fine food with beverages from PRM’s no host bar (including local beers from sponsor-in-kind East Brother Beer Co.!), with proceeds directly supporting the music series. Festival-style seating is available with a limited number of chairs provided, and concert-goers are encouraged to bring their own festival/lawn chairs.

PRM, an all-volunteer non-profit organization, produces the series in support of its mission to build community through the unifying language of music. Please visit www.pointrichmondmusic.org for more information.

Don't miss one of the last chances to see Extra Large! Voted Best Local Band in Santa Cruz County nine times running, Extra Large splices together funk, Latin, reggae, and classic California rock. This veteran six-piece ensemble has become a California coast staple adept at heating up dance floors, concert stages, and festivals with their original dance music.

About Point Richmond Music:
Point Richmond Music (PRM) is a 501c3 nonprofit public benefit organization that provides free outdoor summer concerts as a way to build community through the unifying language of music. PRM concerts provide a gathering place for people of all ages, ethnicities, and walks of life by featuring musical talent from Richmond, the Bay Area and beyond. In addition to producing a free summer concert series, the group is proud to help support year-round music through its sponsorship of the Point Richmond Jazz series, which runs October through May at the First United Methodist Church, and to foster the development of the next generation of musicians through contributions to Washington Elementary School’s music program. Eighteen years of this collaborative effort have relied on donations of time and money from volunteers and local businesses and organizations.

The idea to create a concert series in downtown Point Richmond originated from Richmond City Council member and current mayor Tom Butt. He made the suggestion in 2001 to Michele Seville (now the Arts & Culture Manager for the City of Richmond) and several other members of the Richmond Arts & Culture Commission as a way to foster community through music and promote local businesses. A small group began to meet and formed Point Richmond Music. Today the PRM Board is: Andrew Butt, Bryan Delaney, Pam deWitt Delaney, Duane Fitzgerald, Bruce Kaplan, Kimberly Paternoster, Michele Seville, Amy Ukena and Christina Zirker.
