Musical Moments Spotlight: Amante & Walker

Joanne Amante and Frank Walker will bring their acoustical music to Russ Savatt Park , Main Street Friday night.

The duo, with Walker on bass and Amante as the vocalist, will present original songs as well as some familiar favorites.

Amante, a Kings Park resident, began singing as a child. Her father, a blues/jazz guitarist, led folk groups in church, where Amante sang in the choir throughout her teens and twenties. Walker and Amante met at an open mike night. Walker, of Hicksville, also showed his love for music at an early age, and became an adept at piano, guitar, bass and drums during high school.

 Musical Moments in Kings Park, a series of free outdoor concerts, are held (weather permitting) each Friday through August 31. Please bring seating.

Musical Moments is sponsored by the Kings Park Civic Association, the Kings Park Chamber of Commerce and the local business community.
