Recap: Music in the Park 2019

Last August, we concluded our concert series “Music in the Park” that featured Madtown Mannish Boys. We had three musical acts in total: one for every last Sunday of the summer months and coincidentally, each one hosted on a different location as their stage. Here is our little recap for each concert:

The Swing Crew

Swing Crew hosted in the Rock Elm Shelter (due to inclement weather) on Sunday, June 30th. Both the band and concert goers braved the elements and had a cozy evening of laughter and interactive acoustic music to put everyone in a good spirit. Swing Crew brought in a couple special guests to perform a couple numbers with them.

Noah John & Ringing Iron

Noah John & Ringing Iron hosted in the patio area near the Chateau on Sunday, July 28th. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to host an outdoor music concert! This trio delighted concert goers and even park visitors passing through with Americana country bluegrass music.

Madtown Mannish Boys hosted in the grassy area between the North Shore parking lot and the Chateau on Sunday, August 25th. The Madtown Mannish Boys brought all shades of blues to the evening, even trading off vocals and instruments on some songs! We’re happy to see folks get up and dance along with the children.

We are thankful for all of the bands and everyone who attended this 2019 summer concert series 2019, and we are looking forward to next year’s run! Stay tuned for an announcement for music act submissions on our website and social media.
