    Scion Music In The Park 2009 - Matt Nathanson

    San Jose Downtown Association

    July 23, 2009

    Avg. Event Rating (4.5 Stars): 4.5 out of 5 stars rating Add Review/Comment

    San Jose summers wouldn't be the same without Music in the Park, Downtown's most anticipated concert series. For more than 20 years, people have come out to enjoy a variety of music at free Thursday night Music in the Park concerts. Scion is the title sponsor, and Dos Equis along with Metro Newspapers return as presenting sponsors. Food and beverages are available at the park. The Lounge in the Park, which is open to the public, will serve sangria, beer and wine.

    July 23: Matt Nathanson (Rock/Pop)- Since his prelude performance at Music in the Other Park in 2006, Nathanson has made some great strides towards the spotlight. This San Francisco transplant is proof that the sixth time can be a charm. His latest album Some Mad Hope has produced his biggest hit single to date Come on Get Higher, charting on the Billboard Top 100. Opening for Matt Nathanson is the MiGGs.

        As though leading troops to an engagement, many of Santa Clara's political leaders, chauffered in classic T-birds and sporting campaign smiles convoyed down Santa Clara street to the cheers of San Joseans and visitors. Appearing through the clouds of history, Colonial Revolutionists trodded by...then tramped a motley of Civil War veterans, demeanor deadly serious and wary of Rebels. Eager cub scouts, several fine school bands, Antique cars and WWI doughboys filled the exhibiting streets of downtown; Past and present members of the current forces graced the roads, and even a miniaturized submarine rolled by. We saw children carrying portraits of men and women who had given their lives for the happy future of the rest of us. Unlike parades of long past years, there were no equine representatives, as the old Cavalry is all but forgotten...but they were a hard act to follow, anyway. Collapse

        It seems that the Dazz Band cancelled. The event posting, including the image, has now been updated to that of The Wailing Souls. Thank you.

        I was one of the few who stuck it out until the end of the movie. Unfortunately, much of the movie was impossible to see due to the street lights. The good news is that an announcement was made at the end of the evening apolozing for the street light issue and promising that it would not be an issue in the future. Unfortunately, picture quality was not the only problem...much of the movie was difficult to hear. This was due to a combination of the sound level needing to be turned up, the rude people in the back of the crowd who were obviously there to visit with friends and not watch the movie, and the extremely noisy break-down of the wine/beer booth partway through the movie. I have been to Cinema on San Pedro Square in previous seasons and had a good experience. I will probably attend again this season in the hope that these major kinks will be worked out. My fingers are crossed!! Collapse
