The other day a friend noticed that there was a keyboard player in Giant, playing jazzy versions of Christmas music. The musician is Marcus Johnson, and he was there as part of a deal — if you buy Coke products at Giant, you get a free CD by him.
Deals aside, I think this is cool, having musicians play at local stores. The occasional musicians outside the Metro are generally pretty good and I always like seeing them. (The guys will bullhorns, not so much.) The Community Marketplace also had musicians, which was nice. I’d like to see this sort of thing more often.
