Canyon Road between Weirick Road and Cajalco Road in Corona, which are part of the

Friday, June 17: Gregory Adamson “Facing the Music” Performance

The Three of Us band will play as Gregory Adamson creates three original paintings at his “Facing the Music” performance on Friday, June 17 at the Dos Lagos Amphitheater from 6 to 8 p.m. The Three of Us will provide musical Delta blues, acoustic rock and a bit of funk inspiration as Adamson paints on stage. This is the same band that performed with Adamson at EMI Capitol Records on the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death. Gregory Adamson will entertain the audience with his combination of painting, music and movement as he creates three, large scale paintings that are bold, expressive visual translations of the live music. A lucky audience member will win one of the original paintings in a random drawing for age 18 and older attendees at the performance. Entry forms will be distributed throughout the concert and the winner must be present when the drawing is held at the 8 p.m. performance finale. The other two Adamson paintings created on Friday will be given away by Silent Auction at The Shops at Dos Lagos Art Show from June 17 – 25 in the Gallery, located near New York & Company at the center.
