Livingston Library
Community,
Are you looking for
an afternoon filled with friends, neighbors, and live music? We
invite you to join us for a springtime Music Matters concert in the
Library’s program room, where we are pleased to welcome back The Kootz
on Sunday, April 21st, at 2pm.
The Kootz have been
delighting crowds for over twenty years, with a music repertoire
featuring a mixture of classic rock from the 1960s through the 1990s,
pop, r&b, and blues. Having played all over the tri-state
area, it is safe to say that they are one of New Jersey’s (and maybe
even Livingston’s) most beloved bands.
Music lovers of all
ages are welcome to attend. It is sure to be a good time, and
you might even find yourself singing and dancing in your
seat!
We hope to see you
on the 21st!
