Good day on this hot and rainy Wednesday.
As if it weren’t hot enough, Motown legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Martha Reeves brings a "Heat Wave" to St. Johns today. Known for signature songs like "Dancing in the Streets," and "Nowhere to Run," the Grammy-nominated singer and her vocal trio, the Vandellas present a rare live performance at St. Johns' Concert in the Park series. Reeves’ setlist includes Motown hits, as well as some gospel favorites. The Jack Clarkson Band, featuring a septet of decorated Michigan musicians, opens the show, and a group of mid-Michigan dance instructors perform as part of the show. 7 p.m. FREE. William E. Tennant Performance Shell, 804 W. Park Drive, St. Johns. ow.ly/92f1301X6Vz.
