The Strolling Clones
An 8-piece Rolling Stones cover band out of Minneapolis, consisting of 3 guitars, bass, keyboard, drums, additional percussion, trumpet, trombone, and rich vocal harmonies.
The Stones’ songs they cover range from solid 60s standards to 2023’s “Angry”.
This band, my local favorite Stones cover band, offers a lot of danceability!

Free.
Music is 7:00-9:00 PM.
I’ll be there by 6:00 PM. Join me early for introductions and conversation before the music begins. Dancing is optional (of course), but encouraged.

The Hopkins Center for the Arts puts on the Sunset Series Outdoor Concerts, of which this musical performance is a part.

Rain or Shine!
If there's rain, by 3 pm the day of the concert it will be announced that they’re moving the performance indoors a couple of blocks away, to the Hopkins Center for the Arts, 1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins. Look for an announcement here : https://www.facebook.com/hopkinsartscenter/

Bring a lawn chair. I recommend bringing both cash and credit card.
Your call additional items to consider: water, ear plugs (I highly recommend), sunscreen, mosquito repellant, and you might want to bring an umbrella to have on hand in case of a late-developing (after the call was made to go ahead outdoors) passing rain shower.

Plenty of Free Parking
Municipal parking ramp and street parking. Of course, there are some parking restriction signs in some areas to pay attention to.

Food
There’s no mention of food trucks in the event descriptions I’ve seen, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there are one or two there. Additionally, there are numerous restaurants and bars & grills in downtown Hopkins, as well as nearby fast food options.

How to find us
I look like my photo. Look for my multi-colored jungle leaves design cap, and look for a blue pennant on a 5 ft. green pole, which will be near us. We’ll be sitting in the shade, far enough away for conversation, but close enough for up-front dance area quick access.
