It’s the gift that the keeps on giving. The “Barnacle Under the Moonlight” concert series keeps on giving us amazing nights out with such talents as Keith Johns, Dec. 9, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Looks like the weather will be perfect this Saturday night, as patrons and the public come out to experience Miami-raised folk artist Keith Johns’ richly nuanced stories in his unique voice with lyrics that are soulful and honest.

The performance takes place at Coconut Grove’s favorite backyard on the Bay — at the end of the path at the Historical Barnacle State Park, 3485 Main Highway. But guests are invited to come out and enjoy the park an hour early at 6 p.m.

Concert-goers will see children playing on the plush grass lawn, friends and family sprawled out with picnic baskets full of goodies, one of their favorite local musicians honoring the craft of songwriting, and neighbors relaxing in each others’ company. There’s no better way to spend a memorable evening in the Grove.
