Mylo McCormick in Concert in Silver City Sunday July 29th

Silver City, Nevada - Bring a lawn chair and a picnic and enjoy an evening in the Silver City Park with a blues, funk and classic rock concert by Mylo McCormick on Sunday, July 29th from 6:30pm-8pm.

McCormick will perform on the town's outdoor stage, the Silver Pavilion, located adjacent to the town community center, known as the School House, at 385 High Street.

At just 18, McCormick has already earned a reputation in the Tahoe, Comstock, Reno and Carson region as a masterful young guitarist with tasteful riffs and solos comparable to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

McCormick was born in Silver City, where he learned to play guitar with singer/song writer/musician Will Rose. After moving to Carson City, he began taking vocal lessons from Linda Badinger of Music Lessons Unlimited.

By age 16, he was invited to join Mo'z Motley Blues, a Northern Nevada band performing blues-infused rock, pop, and variety music. Band leader Monique De Haviland says, “Mylo fires up the audience and is the driving force behind the Motley ‘blues’ flavor.”

He also performs with his band the Mylo McCormick Project, which recently kicked off the summer festival season at Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park in Minden with a well attended concert.

The grandson of Jim McCormick, a well-known champion for the arts in Nevada, Mylo carries on the torch with music, offering solo performances for arts and culture events in the region.

A complete list of his upcoming shows in Tahoe, Virginia City, Reno, Carson, Minden, Genoa, etc. can be found on his Facebook page, Mylo McCormick Music. https://www.facebook.com/Mylo-McCormick-Music-1052592938115029/
