St. John Couple Sharing the Love with New Music
Our lovely island home has so much to offer, but one of my favorite things about living here is being in the heart of a healthy live music scene. On any given night, you are bound to encounter an acoustic set, an open mic night, or maybe a nice jazz ensemble.
Friends of the Park Gala – An Event to Remember

Folk Rock Inspiration Found in St. John
When most people think about The Mamas & The Papas, they automatically associate them with the Laurel Canyon area of California. The band formed in Los Angeles in 1965 on the heels of their previous folk music projects. The new bandmates – John Phillips, Michelle Phillips, Denny Doherty, and Cass Elliott – were all coming from other projects, so they felt it was important to spend some time ironing out their sound. Once their lineup was established, the group decided that a getaway was in order to write, rehearse, and refine their harmony-heavy artform.
