FALLS VILLAGE — Vance Cannon and “friends and family” played an evening concert on the lawn at the David M. Hunt Library Saturday, July 27.

Cannon, on guitar and vocals, was joined by his brother Hal Cannon on guitar, Steve Roys on harmonica and concertina, and Melanie Cullerton on vocals.

“This is going to be kind of loose,” said Cannon before starting. “I hope you don’t mind.”

“We’ll be happy to refund your money.” (The show was free.)

The library will host the third concert of the summer Saturday, Aug. 24, at 6 p.m., with a community talent and open-mic show.
