Latin Sounds at Philosopher's Stone




BRAZILIAN MUSIC
REINALDO BRAHN WITH JIM BROCK


We had an opportunity to sit in on some extraordinary music at the " Philosophers Stone" last Saturday.  The Stone is located at the intersection of 7th Street and Pecan Avenue in our Historic Elizabeth neighborhood, with the perfect outdoor setting under the trees and an intimate stage for musicians to play and entertain in a very first class way.
The Stone has a laid back atmosphere with great food and drinks, there are games set up for the family, table tennis, a tossing game, and room to move around.  I was surprised how private the space seemed even though it is at a fairly busy intersection.
Reinaldo Brahn sings and plays beautiful Brazilian music on guitar and of course our own Jim Brock is always amazing on percussion.  The two together are something to hear and see.
They are at the Stone every Saturday from 4:30p - 7:00p.  What a great way to chill on a Saturday afternoon.  I am always impressed at the quality of entertainment available to us in Charlotte.  I was thinking where else can one go to hear music like this outdoors under the trees on a Saturday afternoon?
