Sunday, June 30: Midtown Horns. From Contemporary to Motown to classic rock, to Latin Rhythms, blues and soul, The Midtown Horns band can do it all. This group of players has a sound with an edge. The highly accomplished and experienced horn and rhythm sections provide the backup for two male lead vocalists and two female vocalists which serve to create a powerful, high energy band. Whether it’s Bruno Mars, the Swing and Scat of Brian Setzer, the rich, full throated vocals of Earth Wind and Fire or a soulful rendition of Al Green’s Lets Stay Together, lead vocalists Marty Orio and UV Golibroda reach the high and low range vocals of many of the world’s greatest songs. The Midtown Horns excel in any genre or era of music.

Sunday, August 11: Way up South. Way Up South has been tearing up the New England club and festival scene and rapidly gaining a reputation as an explosive live band with a deep well of compelling original music and stellar musicianship. Fresh vocal harmonies, instrumental virtuosity, and dynamic energy transference between the musicians and the audience are the hallmarks of Way Up South. Its expansive sound incorporates a maturity and musicianship that weaves in and out of southern, blues, country, jazz, and Americana rock—music whose precision and finesse still retain the loose spacey qualities that epitomize improvisational rock bands. This style has earned them the right to call their music “Big Sky” sound.
Say Cheese, Archie’s on a Roll, Uhlman’s Ice Cream and Yummy Mummy Bakery will be the food vendors and The Face Escape will provide face painting and balloon art.
Sunday, August 25: Playing Dead. Playing Dead is a Grateful Dead tribute featuring former members of Dark Star Orchestra, Slipknot!, and Uncle John’s Band. Their marathon sets feature music and jams from the entire Grateful Dead catalog. Playing Dead faithfully recreates the experience of a live Grateful Dead concert. The music of The Grateful Dead is a complex stew of different styles of music including rock, blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass and more. Their improvisational style and large repertoire guarantee that every musical performance will be unique. Every Playing Dead show is equally unique featuring different set lists each night and exciting improvisational jams.
Enjoy food from Say Cheese, Trolley Dogs, Travelin Bones Barbeque, Uhlman’s Ice Cream and Yummy Mummy Bakery. Face painting and balloon art will be created by The Face Escape.
