It's Thursday, and it will be a perfect evening to enjoy a free concert on Betsy Paterson Square! Tonight--6:30 to 8 PM.

Our Summer Concerts on the Square continue tomorrow with Rob Flax's Boom Chick Trio! 🎻

Rooted in equal parts hot swing, snarky songwriting, and lyrical storytelling, this energetic trio of virtuoso violin, guitar, and bass plus three part harmony vocals will transport you to a speakeasy somewhere in the back of a bar.

Come hear their “Hotshot swing, crackerjack instrumentals, superb harmonies & hysterical stagecraft” —The Folk Project

📅 Thursday, June 11
⏰ 6:30 - 8:00 PM
📍 Betsy Paterson Square
🎟️ Free!
