Matt Bolton is a singer/guitarist/keyboardist/percussionist live-on-the-spot music production/creation show from Kauai, Hawaii. He has toured nationally in bands with Todd Rundgren, Jesse Colin Young, Bill Kreutzmann and many others.
Matt picks from a seemingly endless collection of covers and originals to create an unforgettable live performance in which his ingenuity in looping magically reproduces the sound, feel and energy of a complete band with no prerecorded tracks.

Weekly Kids’ Yoga — Beginning Wednesday, June 17, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m.
Kid’s Yoga has been designed especially for Elizabeth Street Garden to foster an appreciation for the Garden’s distinctive qualities. Kids will freeze in “strong statue” poses, learn about the life cycles of different Garden elements — seed to tree, caterpillar to butterfly, etc.; practice different “insect” poses; and explore the sounds and other sensory qualities of the Garden through minimeditations, aiming to provide an opportunity for kids to connect to this beloved neighborhood space in a unique and meaningful way.
Instructor: local parent and Twisted Trunk instructor Suzanne Monto.
Open to kids of all ages and their families. FREE. Please bring your own mat.
