An unabashed smash hit at last year’s Millbrae's Art and Wine Festival, the "Streets Filled With Talent Community Stage", under the direction of local impresario Ken Kelly, returns for an encore performance at this year’s festival, September 1-2.

Spark of Creation Dance Studio
Glorious Birds
Streets Filled With Talent Band
Almost Chaos
Bay Area Girls |
Leading off Saturday will be Spark of Creation Dance Studio from South San Francisco. They will bring students of their Polynesian dance programs to share a taste of the Islands. Following them will be Glorious Birds, a 3-piece college age band that first performed on our stage last year. They perform their own brand of rock that is always entertaining. Next on the Saturday program will be The Streets Filled With Talent Band, eight middle school girls (and one 5th grade boy on saxaphone) who play both pop songs that all will recognize and a few originals too. Next up will be Millbrae's own "Millbrae's Got Talent". This will be a showcase of some individual performers from the local area. The Saturday finale will be "Sing A Song With Passion" — a singing program lead by the very enthusiastic Ann Marie who quotes Walt Disney saying "If you can dream it, you can do it." Ann Marie continues, "It is my mission to teach you how.”
Sunday's lineup kicks off with Almost Chaos, a teenage rock band from Santa Cruz. Next up will be another stellar rock band, The Bay Area Girls. These middle school girls have been performing all over the Bay Area and are returning to the festival again this year. Following them on stage will be the American Line Dancers, an entertaining troupe that mixes up country, pop music and everything in between in their mesmerizing line dancing demos. Closing things out on Sunday will be Flight of Ulysses. This talented band originated in Millbrae, formed by Mills High School students/alumni. Showing great versatility, all band members have a strong background in rock, jazz, blues and classical music.
The "Streets Filled With Talent Community Stage" is located on Broadway near Meadow Glen. Performances are scheduled from 12 pm to 5 pm both days.
Special gratitude and thanks to Ken Kelly of Ken Kelly Productions for making this a spectacular reality. BRAVO!!! Visit www.kenkellyproductions.com.
