Art, music show Sunday in downtown Yorkville

YORKVILLE - More than 15 Chicago-area expert artists and musicians have signed as much as display their function or perform from 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday at a totally free South Bank Art and Music Festival at 5 Yorkville businesses and also the Riverfront Park.
The businesses which are participating consist of River City Roasters, which is expanding its coffee shop at the Riverfront Park to consist of the South Bank Art Gallery; Casa Santiago, 227 Heustis St.; Geneva Kayak; Inventive Kernels; and Freeman's Sports Inc., 129 E. Hydraulic St. If the weather is good, concerts also will probably be performed at the pavilion in Riverfront Park.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for the Kendall County Food Pantry, and some of the artists are donating artwork to become auctioned off as a fundraiser for the pantry.
The occasion will be the brainchild of Yorkville resident Trish Kinnavy-Marshall, a guitarist and folk song writer who also owns Holistic Hair. She says this will be the first inside a series of on-going artistic events to highlight what she has dubbed Yorkville's "South Bank" - that area on the south side of the Fox River adjacent towards the new Marge Cline Whitewater Course.
"This South Bank area is really a perfect place to hold this Monster Beats," Kinnavy-Marshall says. "There's so much going on here now. You are able to kayak or canoe or fish, and in the event you don't want to kayak, you can get a coffee, or popcorn, or ice cream, or Mexican food Beats Headphones, or sit in the coffee shop and look in the artwork. It's exciting."
Kinnavy-Marshall stresses this is just the very first inside a series of events to highlight the ongoing art shows.
"The art work will continue to be on display through July 1, when we'll hold an additional occasion," she says. "Artists can exhibit and sell their artwork for 3 months, and then we will provide space to other artists."
Although Kinnavy-Marshall says the art gallery and shows will probably be a great way for younger artists and musicians to have an chance to obtain their function before the public, she emphasizes that all the showcased artists and musicians are professionals.
Among the musicians scheduled to appear so far are Bill Buckley, a Native American flutist from Chicago; David Bon Dre Beats, acoustic guitar and harmonica; The Morgan Fields, Kathy and Troy Grundy of Winthrop Harbor, bass guitar and vocals; Steve Shonder, guitar, Berwyn; Ethan Bell and also the Death Folk Marching Band; Zach Wessel, singer/songwriter Monster Beats Headphones, Yorkville; Matt Skala, singer/songwriter, folk rock, Sandwich; Daniel Shinabarger, singer/songwriter, Woodstock; and Kinnavy-Marshall Beats By Dr Dre, guitar.
Displaying artists are Eric Prinvic, Oswego; Miro Kedijaks, Berwyn; Paul Burd, Yorkville; Virginia Stibbe, Yorkville; Danielle Ebersole, Owego; and Kelly Shultz, Yorkville.
In addition, Todd and Eric Fink of the Giving Tree Band will probably be displaying a children's book "The Stream," which they produced according to a song they wrote.
