Enjoy a live performance by Maria Blues on Friday, July 14 starting at 7:00pm. Join us for eclectic live music outside on the lawn behind Brand Library & Art Center. Visitors are welcome to bring a chair or blanket and picnic on the grassy hillsides in Brand Park. Seats are not provided. Performances run 60 - 90 minutes without intermission.

Singer, songwriter, guitarist and drummer at heart, Maria Blues plays a fusion of ska, reggae and Latin American rhythms with a hint of soul. Her stage name comes from one of her favorite Manu Chao songs, “The Merry Blues”. In addition to Manu Chao, she also draws inspiration from Amy Winehouse, Juan Gabriel, Chavela Vargas, and Mon Laferte. Before diving into her own song-writing talents, she previously played drums with several LA ska bands. Maria is now taking her vocals to the stage with a backing band. Hailing from South LA, Maria Blues strives to bring her own unique sound to every show and to capture the hearts of all audiences. 

Ample free parking is available in Brand Park. An accessible entrance and accessible parking for cars with a disabled parking placard or license plate is located on the East side of Brand Library.
