On Friday, August 16, Sean Coyote performed a live + live-broadcast FolkU concert in the big Village Commons tent. Hosted by Greg Osoba, Sean is a long-time Cortes resident who has been a musician & music lover since he was young. Sean mostly performs in his living room for the benefit of the cat, however he does occasionally sneak out for a few rare public performances.
Just beforehand, to wrap up her kids camp, Monica Lee also performed a kids music set. (Pictured)
The Village Commons Music Series is put on every Friday by a partnership between Cortes Island Community Foundation, FolkU, and CKTZ Cortes Community Radio. The series is generously sponsored by Decoda Literacy and Coastal Community Credit Union.
This year, the series is also highlighting community organizations and funds part of Cortes Foundation’s fundraising campaign Care for Cortes. This week, the series highlighted Cortes Community Radio’s Power the Tower campaign.
