August 14, 2018 by Tracy J. 2 Comments

Forest Hills Park’s last picnic in the park concert of the summer is on the last Saturday of this month. Details from Friends of Forest Hills Playground:

Join Friends of Forest Hills Playground + The Erich Cabe Team for our last free, all-ages summer concert at the Forest Hills Park amphitheater (3200 block of Brandywine Street, by the tennis courts). The band is Jim and Gina (more below). They will be performing some upbeat favorites from the last few decades.

Pizza sales will begin at 5pm. Armand’s Pizza will be selling pizza by the slice (cash only, please). You can also preorder whole pies and salads for pickup at the show:

The music starts at 5:30pm, and the show will wrap up by 7pm.

This concert is sponsored by the Erich Cabe Team, who has supported all three summer concerts and the park’s April clean up.

Finally, we need volunteers to help plan next summer’s shows or they won’t happen! Email foresthillsplayground@gmail.com.

About Jim and Gina:

Jim Greenfield has been involved with music since he was a child and has played across all genres including but not limited to classical, all forms of rock, blues, jazz, country, folk, and “singer-songwriter” music. You may know him as a teacher at The Sheridan School, from a private guitar lesson or as the lead guitarist and vocalist for “Film at Eleven.” You may have also seen him at Tenleytown’s Art All Night event, where he will return this year for the third time. Find out more about Jim at greenfieldguitar.com and filmatelevenband.com.

Gina Cocco is a bass player and vocalist in ‘Forty Dollar Fine.’ You can also catch her on stage with BandHouse Gigs and playing in various duo/trio acts around the area. She’s a self-taught bass player who holds down the groove and loves inspiring other women to pick up the typically male-dominated instrument at any age. Some of her influences and favorite bands are Paul McCartney, The Beatles, James Jamerson, U2, Steely Dan, Elton John, Bonnie Raitt, and her bass player friends who encouraged her to play. She also plays keys, percussion, and drums. See more at: 40dollarfine.com.

    is there any plans for establishing a dog park in our vicinity ?
    it would so improve the “happiness quotient” for our neighborhood and we have plenty of empty space for that facility?

      We know there’s a huge amount of community interest and need since so many people use the baseball field as a dog park. Someone brought up the idea at the July 25th park improvements planning meeting with DPR and Rock Creek Conservancy. Another attendee mentioned that it has been explored in the past by an ANC committee. Their finding was that there’s not enough space at Forest Hills Park. What are some other nearby options?
