Raina Rose at the Sandbox Inn

Now that the busy tourism season is behind us here on beautiful South Padre Island, I find myself casting around for new and creative ways to use all this lovely space I have acquired here at the Sandbox Inn. The indoor space is large and the outdoor space is larger and it has occurred to me that it could be well utilized for intimate house/garden concerts for 50 or so fans of The Good Stuff. My friend Raybo - who picks guitar and mandolin with some of the best in the world - concurs and has convinced the lovely and talented Raina Rose to come perform here at the Sandbox the evening of Fri., Sept. 21 starting at 8:30 PM.

Hailing from Portland, OR, Raina Rose has been compared with Joni Mitchell, Ani DeFranco and Suzanne Vega. She was a New Folk finalist in Kerrville this year and her music has been described as “Light, flighty, and airy folk rock with an indie pop twist.” You can hear samples of her music on her website and myspace pages.

Tickets are $20 and include food and drink. There will only be 45 sold and may be purchased from me (956-459-2928) or Raybo (956-746-9707.)
