Area musician Mark Henes invites performers of all ages to a Music Meetup on Saturday, July 20, from 3–9 p.m., at Barfield Crescent Park, Pavilion #8.

Part of Henes’ Parks & Rhythms event series, the open-mic afternoon gives all who would like to participate the chance to invite their families and friends, take turns performing songs, and meet other area creatives in a fun, open-air, all-ages space.

A seasoned performer with a deep passion for music, Henes also serves as a performance coach for aspiring artists, helping them refine their craft, navigate the competitive music industry, hone performance techniques and work on stage presence, audience engagement, and the nuances of delivering a captivating performance, drawing from the hours he has spent on stage and in the studio.

Performers already planning to appear at the meetup include former Marine Vince Oropesa, Nick Ray, Maise and Calliope Alsup (both 10 years old), Tennessee State Fair Youth Competition winner Grace Rich and soulful singer-songwriter Isaiah Robertson.
