One of my favorite things about the Oak Park market has nothing to do with the farmers or the produce. At each market there are two groups of musicians that faithfully show up, instruments in hand, to play with other like-minded musicians.
It’s wonderful to see how the bluegrass band, aka The Farmers’ Market Band, which has been playing for more than 30 years, has been so welcoming this year.
And just around the corner, there’s a jazzy alternative with many young percussionists accompanying. I know less about this band, though I know they’ve been playing for many years. I’m eager to find out more about this band, which plays on the lawn on the southwest corner of the church.
