Los Gatos to purr through Lake Street Studios

From staff reports
As part of the resurgence of performance art at the Lake Street Studios, and for this year’s Glen Arbor Art Association benefit concert, the Los Gatos will perform behind the studios across the street from Cherry Republic on Saturday, August 19 at 7:30 p.m. Los Gatos is a Latin jazz ensemble led by percussionist Pete Sears and also featuring a kunga, bass and keyboard. “They are a quintet with vibes,” says Harry Fried, who put together this concert. “Very happening, upbeat and danceable.” Los Gatos are the house band at Ann Arbor’s well-known Firefly Club and play everything from Latin versions of jazz standards to salsa music.

“This is the closest you’ll get to riding a Central American chicken bus in Glen Arbor,” Harry predicts.
Tickets for the Los Gatos concert cost $15 in advance or $20 at the door for adults and $10 in advance or $17 at the door for students. Admission is free for children 12 and under. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Lake Street Studios or at the Glen Arbor Art Association until August 12. Bring chairs and blankets.
