The Northborough Community Affairs Committee continues to hold fun, family summer concerts into August. These concerts take place at Ellsworth-McAfee Park (Rt. 135) in Northborough from 5-7 p.m. on Thursdays and Sundays. Food trucks and other food vendors are in attendance with some fun activities for children of all ages! Here is the exciting August line-up:
- Way Up South- Thursday, August 11, 5-7 p.m. 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. Their 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 and epitomize improvisational rock bands. This style has earned them the right to call their music “Big Sky” sound. The food vendors will include Northborough House of Pizza, Dogfather, Uhlman’s Ice Cream and Yummy Mummy Bakery.
- Playing Dead – Sunday, August 21, 5-7 p.m. Playing Dead is a Grateful Dead tribute band 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 guaranteed that every musical performance would be unique. Every Playing Dead show is equally unique featuring different set lists each night and exciting improvisational jams.
The food vendors will include Sabor Latino, Dogfather, Easy Street Tacos, Uhlman’s Ice Cream and Yummy Mummy Bakery.
