Bon Bon Vivant to play free Farmin Park show

By Zach Hagadone Reader Staff

The Sandpoint Summer Music Series continues Thursday, July 20 with New Orleans-based Bon Bon Vivant, which will bring its self-described “cabaret-meetsindie-meets-dance-music” sound to Farmin Park.

Sandpoint Summer Music Series: Bon Bon Vivant

6 p.m., FREE. Farmin Park, Third Avenue and Main Street in Sandpoint, mattoxfarm.com/ summermusicseries. Listen at bbvband.com.

Though BBV’s HQ is a world away in NOLA, the band has a longstanding love affair with the Pacific Northwest, and is no stranger to Sandpoint, either — so much the better for us.

Local music lovers have been treated to a number of shows from the band this summer, and the Farmin Park concert put on by Mattox Farms Productions promises to be the perfect seasonal blend of Cajun-inflected rock and jazz.

There will be food vendors on site, with Opa! Greek cuisine and Mandala wood-fired pizza available for purchase. Also, 7B Origin Lemonade and everyone’s favorite Eichardt’s bar will sell beverages for adults and kids alike. The gates will open at 5 p.m.

Catch Tweedy and Le Ren for this special one-night-only show, with tickets varying from $83 for general seating to $96 for better positioning and $149 for the first two center rows next to the stage. There are also loveseats available in the balcony for $176 (which covers both seats).
