Setup in the large back parking lot of the Maynard Park Hardware Emporium, this outdoor venue consists of a small plywood stage fronted by a deluxe child’s wading pool that serves as Maynard Bay. Says Clive, “We wait for the sun to set, then we light all these floating tea lights in the pool, and it’s magic.”
This year, as in previous years, the headline act is Clive’s own band, Flugel Riot Anthem. “We’re a Flugelhorn Power Trio of myself, my brother and our cousin Lloyd. In-between sets, we have a Fire Dancer who’s pretty good. And we have hot-dogs.” Flugel Riot Anthem performs what they have come to call “FRA music” which they describe as a fusion of several other fusions.
If Seattle’s heat-wave is getting to you this weekend, and you could find some relief standing in a parking lot, you might want to check out the Maynard Bay Music Festival.
