| July 12 | Jonathan Edwards | Warm as summer sunshine, real as the truth, intimate as a long overdue visit between old friends … such is a Jonathan Edwards concert. Four decades into a stellar career of uncompromising musical integrity, the man simply delivers night after night – songs of passion, songs of insight, songs of humor, all rendered in that pure and powerful tenor which, like fine wine, has only grown sweeter with age. He is best known for "Sunshine" and "Shanty" from the early 70's. |
| July 19 | The Great Escape | The Great Escape is the Ultimate Journey Experience. If you love Journey, you'll love this band. Well known through out New England, including performances at Mohegan Sun, they inject their own enthusiasm and musicianship to the classic Journey songs of the 80s. |
| July 26 | Maestro's Men | It's Polka Madness! The Maestro's Men have been performing together since 1996. The musicians' unique backgrounds and experience form the heart of the Maestro's Men sound. Their unique sound and arrangements of traditional and original music offer an exciting and entertaining musical variety. Their diverse repertoire include selections of a variety of music including: Polka, Obereks and Waltzes, Swing, Dixie, Rumba, Cha Cha, Mambo, Fox Trot, Big Band, Italian, Irish, German, Line Dances. Bring your dance shoes! |
| August 2 | Tom Chapin | Adult albums and kids' albums, contemporary folk and pop, Tom Chapin's music spans styles and generations. Tom's remarkable musicianship, great songwriting and personal warmth shine through whether he's performing in a concert hall, an outdoor festival, a school, in front of a symphony orchestra or in an intimate coffeehouse. As Harry Chapin's younger brother, Tom brings his own unique style of music and ability to engage his younger audience. Kids will really enjoy this show. |
| August 9 | Red Stone Ridge | With a six man line-up they have all of their Bluegrass bases covered! Based in Western, Connecticut the "Ridge" plays a fine mix of traditional & contemporary acoustic bluegrass. They cover a long list of favorites and also feature many fine original tunes. |
| August 17 | Christine Ohlman & Rebel Montez | The blue-eyed soul of the beehived soul queen Christine Ohlman astounds any live audience lucky enough to be in her presence. As a veteran and featured vocalist of the SNL band, her finely tuned pipes are often heard, not seen; a huge misfortune for the late night viewer as her charisma onstage is one of a kind. Few singers today are truly versed, like Ohlman, in all things soul. |
