Summer Series Concerts 2024 – Lineup:

Friday, 06/28 – Wild Adriatic (Rooted in the rowdy spirit of rock & roll, Wild Adriatic has built an international audience on a combination of groove, grit, and guitar-heavy swagger. “Flawlessly tight with infectious melodies and tons of soul.” – Relix)

Friday, 07/05 – Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio (Equal parts hot swing, snarky songwriting, and lyrical storytelling, Rob Flax’s Boom Chick Trio combines virtuoso violin, guitar, bass and three part harmony vocals for an energetic performance. “Eclectic jazzy trio with fun original songs and bounding energy.” – Music on Centre)

Friday, 07/12 – Stella Ruze (An award-winning folk rock band from Philadelphia, PA, Stella Ruze blends four-part vocal harmonies with infectious rhythms and horn arrangements to create a new, genre-bending sound. “They want you on your feet, ready to dance, and they give you the energy to do it, singing about life and friendship and community.” – John Vettese: Editor of The Key, WXPN)

Friday, 07/19 – Pascuala Ilabaca & Fauna (Accordion-wielding Chilean songstress Pascuala Ilabaca is a true hidden gem: A favorite on the strong and new scene of young Chilean singer-songwriters, her music is rooted in traditional sounds but effortlessly integrates shades of jazz, pop and rock, and influences gathered in such distant places as India or Mexico. Accompanied by her formidable band Fauna, her unique stage presence conjures up sweetness and empowerment at the same time, setting her songs alive with both fragility and verve.)

Friday, 07/26 – Soggy Po’ Boys (New Orleans Jazz Fusion – The Soggy Po’ Boys mix brass-fueled mayhem with spirituals, meters-style old-school funk, vibrant storytelling and the Caribbean side of the New Orleans tradition to create a musical experience like no other.)

Friday, 08/02 – Angelina Valente (Angelina Valente is a singer-songwriter from Upstate New York who creates music that moves you. With songs that feel like a warm summer breeze, Angelina’s uninhibited voice and sincere lyrics draw you in and leave you feeling restored and inspired. Her unique blend of indie folk features piano, ukulele, and genuine storytelling influenced by her small town roots and love of nature. “2023 Songwriter of the Year for the New York Capital Region” – 2024 Eddies Music Awards)
