This weekend is looking like Roosevelt Island will be chock full of free concerts. On Saturday, (also, Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day) the Rosemarie & Robin Russell Family Concert series will have a night of music featuring a classical trio playing Schumann, Bach and Mozart. On Sunday afternoon (2:30 PM) the Mother Lode Trio, described as "sophisticated folk with a touch of motherhood" perform at the Church of the Good Shepherd.

The Daily News says of the Mother Lode Trio:

They have jobs. They have kids. They do the laundry. But in their spare time they're plugging and playing away.

Here's a You Tube video of the Mother Lode Trio performing "The River is Wide" at the Clearwater Festival in 2005.



Enjoy the Weekend!
