The 2022 season of Concerts On the Lawn at the Concord Free Public Library (CFPL) features three free concerts on Thursday evenings in July! Bring a blanket or chair, some bug spray, and enjoy a picnic on the Main Library Lawn. In case of rain, the concerts will take place inside in the Goodwin Forum. No registration is required for these concerts.
On Thursday, July 7 at 7 pm, Rockabye Beats will perform a concert for families and folks of all ages. The universal language of music is easily found in Rockabye Beats’ songs, which are reminiscent of founder Marcos Valles’ Puerto Rico. Their songs offer a range of styles from rock n’ roll to calypso to funk and even blues. Enjoy movement, dancing, counting, singing, and a little bit of Spanish vocabulary. Their music will have you bopping and moving along in no time!
On Thursday, July 14 at 7pm, Knock on Wood performs high-energy acoustic folk-rock, featuring a duo including singer-songwriter Howie Newman. Combining acoustic guitar with fiddle, mandolin and pleasing vocal harmonies, the duo performs classic rock covers and funny original music for all ages. It will be a family-friendly concert that may include a few children’s songs and music for senior citizens.
