Free Concerts on the Common

Amy Brady — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:42:47 +0000

Brattleboro is a lively little town celebrating the arts whenever possible. This past Tuesday Tim and I were sitting out on the back patio chatting with some guests over a cold drink when we heard some great music coming from the park. We strolled down the block to see what was going on and settled into a blanket on the grass. We had stumbled onto a brassy band, Jazzberry Jam, playing a mix of swing music and big band numbers. Turns out that throughout the month of July the Brattleboro Recreation Department organizes Tuesday Concerts on the Common. The Common is the park located just 2 blocks from Forty Putney Road’s front door, just north of downtown. The Recreation Department even had 25 cent lemonades for sale along with some popcorn. All together a great way to spend a relaxed Tuesday evening. We will certainly be back for the rest in the series.

We invite you to join us for the upcoming concerts on Tuesdays at 7pm on the Common:

July 13th Jazzberry Jam
July 20th Wyld Nightz
July 27th 3 Way Street
August 3rd American Legion Band

On Thursday, July 17th there is a different musical event on the Common it is called Summer Park Bands. This event is like an “Open Mike” night for bands and other local musicians. We are looking forward to seeing more great free concerts just steps from the door of our Brattleboro Inn. We hope to see you there!
