The Paisley Fogg Rocks Rhythmz Opening Night

We're bringing you this week's Viewfinder on Saturday in order to capture the opening of this year's Rhythmz in Riley Park, the spring/summer concert series.

The opener was moved indoors, to on Grand River, but the day's heavy rain and predicted thunderstorms Friday evening didn't dampen anyone's spirits.

The Paisley Fogg – brothers Tom, David and Keith Birchler all on guitar, bassist Ron Graham, drummer Tommy Anderson and vocalist Dawn Dehring – has become a favorite for Farmington concert-goers. In addition to the Friday night concert series, they provided music for the opening of the downtown streetscape in October, 2009.

The group's repertoire included tunes from The Beach Boys, The Monkees, Janis Joplin, The Mamas & the Papas, Creedence Clearwater Revival and a rendition of the Rolling Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" that delighted an audience that ranged from school-agred children to senior citizens.

Why Fogg with "two 'g's"? According to the brothers, it's an acronym: Four Old Guys and a Girl. All four of the men are grandfathers, so Four Old Great Grandfathers would fit, too.

The Friday night concert series will be back in the next week, featuring Annabelle Road.

Let's hope the weather holds.
