Sacramento California’s Music At Noon concert series is designed for local artists, and it is meeting the needs of those who desire beauty and tranquility in the middle of their day. It is also meeting the needs of our local musicians who desire to communicate their art to the community. Since 2002, thousands of music lovers have entered Westminster’s peaceful, Byzantine-Romanesque sanctuary to hear a wide variety of inspiring music. These free Wednesday noon concerts include classics, jazz, pops, silent films with pipe organ accompaniment, Broadway, opera, folk, USAF ensembles, world-music, and more. Artists include pianists, singers, chamber musicians, choirs, organists, string players, brass & woodwind players, guitarists, and more. So bring a friend and a bag lunch and see why M.A.N. is “the biggest kept secret in Midtown.”

BIOGRAPHY

Marty Cohen and the Sidekicks

Marty Cohen and the Sidekicks

“Marty Cohen calls what his band does ‘urban folk’…” (but) “If you listen closely to their renditions of Cohen’s songs, you’ll hear the underpinnings of Americana and pop music as well.”  –Sacramento News and Review (2018).

The band creates a sound that has been called “an inspired blend of urban folk…with a pop twist” –Sacramento Bee.
