Fourth of July Musical Entertainment

Before the firework finale, the Foster City Fourth of July Celebration offers a great schedule of entertainment. A full schedule for this weekend's events can be found here. Descriptions and links of the acts from their respective websites are in italics. All shows will be at the Leo J. Ryan Amphitheater.

Andy Z, 11:45 to 12:30 p.m.

"Andy Z delights kids and kids-at-heart with his musical adventures.  But, Andreas Zamenes didn’t set out to be a children’s music artist. A singer/songwriter from the San Francisco Bay Area, Andy earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from San Francisco State University.  When a Silicon Valley downturn forced him out of the tech industry, Andy saw it as a sign to devote his time to his passion for music and performance. It was during this time that Andy was approached by a fan at a coffee house to fill in for an ailing music teacher at a San Francisco preschool. It would be easy – just sing and play for the kids. On that day, the children, parents and teachers were captivated by Andy’s easy-going, fun and infectious musical style – and Andy loved it!  He was able to, at last, combine his passion for music with his love of storytelling, character voices and performance.  And, so, ‘Andy Z’ was born."

The Houserockers, 4:15 p.m. to 5:45 p.m.

"The Houserockers are a Rock & Soul band out of Los Gatos, CA that plays for you the greatest songs ever recorded. With a wailing 5 piece horn section and rock solid rhythm section of 2 guitars, bass, drums and keys, we bring the timeless classics to life. When the Houserockers take the stage, for a few hours you can leave the rest of the world behind and rock out to songs that you've carried with you all your life, dance with friends and strangers alike until the day has been put into perspective. Simply put, you'll have a great time."
