MUSIC AT THE MARKET ~ 4-6PM: Welcome Back, Steven Gellman! 
Steven is a local folk singer/song writer who is recognized by BILLBOARD MAGAZINE as an “Essential for fans of sensitive acoustic music.... Gellman has sort of a John Denver-ish voice in the way he hangs on to a note and floats the vibrato and carries the sentiment of his lyrics. ​
