Listen to Carpenter duo in Perrysburg park
PERRYSBURG — The Wednesday at Woodlands lunchtime concert series continues with the Dave Carpenter Duo from noon-1 p.m. at the Woodlands Park shelter area, 429 E. Boundary St.
Picnic tables are available, and attendees may have their lunches while listening to the music.
Carpenter and Chris Zielinski have been main stays in the area music scene for over 20 years. They began playing together after being introduced by a mutual musician friend in 2016. Both agreed the upright bass made a nice accompaniment to acoustic guitar and they perform together whenever possible.
Their program for the lunchtime concert will include acoustic versions of popular songs, classics, and what Dave Carpenter described as “newer hits with tasty original music sprinkled in. Music presented in a chilled, feel good, toes in the sand type of vibe.”
Carpenter performs solo as a singer, songwriter and guitarist. He just released his second album “Dave Carpenter Soundcheck.” He has opened for Joan Jett and George Clinton. He is also the co-founder of the annual fundraiser Acoustics for Autism. Carpenter has been teaching for almost 30 years, currently at Penta Career Center.
Zielenski is an upright bass player and a member of two bands, Polka Floyd and the Screaming Heathens. When not performing he works for the Reverand Guitar Company that produces custom guitars and basses to nationally and internationally known musicians across the country.
