Music in the Garden: Mockingbird’s Wing
2017-08-27 14:00 - 16:00 | Woodlands Garden, 932 Scott Blvd., Decatur, GA, 30030, United States
Mockingbird’s Wing is an organically grown acoustic band made up of four diverse musicians. Like the mockingbird’s song, the members’ different voices and styles come together in a unique sound:

Barbara Hotz is a singer/songwriter with deep roots in Mexico and a love of the old standards.
Jonathan McBee is a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter out of Chicago. If it’s got strings, Jonathan is looking to add it to the Mockingbird sound.
Paul Pendery is a Montana/Alaska/Texas singer/songwriter whose songs evoke soulful stirrings and happy feet.
Suzy Schultz, when she is not at her day job as a full-time artist, adds vocals/flute/cello to the group.

Mockingbird’s Wing has been spotted recently at Java Monkey, Common Grounds Coffee House, Heron House, The Bloom Art Center in St. Petersburg, Fla., and the Oakhurst Porchfest, but they tell us their favorite place to land is Woodlands Garden.
