Music and Stars - May 26

Jon & Lisa Jon & Lisa

Join us May 26th for live music from the front porch at the Everson Ranch! Jon Sousa and Kroja will kick off the evening at 7pm with an acoustic set that will have us dancing until dark. We'll pass the hat to support the musicians.

Astronomy is one of our most popular educational programs, and we're excited to bring the telescope to the Everson Ranch! Stay after dark for a look at the night sky and the moon.

Bring your dancing shoes, chair, and a blanket and join us as we kick off summer!

Lisa Lestander and Jon Sousa play traditional folk music from Scandinavia and Ireland. Their music is an invitation to slow down and connect with what is most authentic in our human experience.

Born in the city of Umeå in northern Sweden, Lisa Lestander is a singer and composer of Swedish traditional folk music. She is a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm and a founding member of the a cappella folk quartet Kraja, one of the most successful and influential Swedish folk music bands on the international music scene of the past two decades.

Originally from the east coast of the United States, Jon Sousa is a guitarist, composer, and singer who has traveled the globe studying, performing, and teaching. He has a Master's degree in Irish Traditional music performance from the University of Limerick in Ireland and has performed for nearly 2 decades with the acclaimed Irish folk duo, Adam & Jon.
