LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Two Indiana musicians will provide entertainment at the Lafayette Farmers’ Market this Saturday, June 6th, between 7:30a and noon.

Danny Weiss leads several groups performing regularly in West Lafayette, Indiana, his home for the past 10 years. He is interested in all forms of music and has performed in many Latin and Caribbean bands (merengue, cumbia, salsa, and ska) as well as Motown (with the Temptations) and Jewish folk music (with Yid Vicious).

Jeff Pearce is well known to the ambient/new age music community for his unique approach to the guitar and Chapman Stick. Whether playing intimate acoustic music or crafting deep-space drifts, he composes music which uniquely combines melody and mystery.

In addition to the entertainment available at the Farmers’ Market, there will also be fresh fruits, vegetables, kettle corn, lamb, beef, pork, free range farm fresh eggs, flowers, honey, dried herbs, baked goods, and arts and crafts available at selected times during the 2009 Market season (which runs through the end of October.)

The Lafayette Farmers Market, managed by the Downtown Development Council of Greater Lafayette Commerce, will be open on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 7:30a–12:30p in Downtown Lafayette on Fifth Street between Main and Columbia Streets. The market will also be open on Thursdays from 3:00p–6:30p from June 4 through August 13 in the Dauch Alumni Center Parking Lot, 403 W. Wood Street on Purdue University campus. On Thursdays, the market will move back to Downtown Lafayette from August 20 through the end of October with hours of 4:00p-7:00p.
