Music at the Mansion Presents Josh Christina

by Liriodendron Staff | May 21, 2022 | Events, Family, Holiday, Music at the Mansion, Outdoor, Performance

Audience favorite Josh Christina returns to the Liriodendron Mansion to kick off our 2022 Music at the Mansion season for a special Father’s Day outdoor concert on Sunday, June 19 from 5 to 7 pm.

Think of a mix between Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley and Elton John and you’ve got Josh Christina.

If you’re a fan of piano driven rock n’ roll, Josh Christina will restore your confidence in the ability of young musicians to carry on the great tradition of rock’s pioneers. Josh writes his own music, refurbishes the classics, and plays a mean piano. His live show – a mix of everything from Jerry Lee Lewis to Elton John with some originals woven in – appeals to all generations. Josh Christina is a rock n roll revivalist whose music provides a bridge across generational lines by going backward to move into the future.

Visit www.joshchristinamusic.com to learn more about this dynamic performer!

The concert will be held outdoors. Chairs are not provided, so bring a picnic blanket or lawn chairs. If you have limited mobility, please contact us to arrange for special seating.

Food and beverages will be available for purchase from The Rice Bowl International Grill and Independent Brewing Company.

Grounds open at 4:00. Concert begins at 5 pm.
