A Little Goodbye to A Little Wednesday Night Music

-->
We're into the last few weeks of summer, which means it's almost time to say goodbye to another summer producing the "A Little Wednesday Night Music" concert series at Blue Back Square in West Hartford, CT. 

This year we were delighted to have (mostly) wonderful weather for our Wednesday-night live music series, and a fantastic lineup of performers from all around New England and beyond.

From old-school R&B, to Jug-Band Blues... 



... from infectious Gypsy-Jazz, to the premiere "The Band" tribute group...
 

... from youthful Jam-Band Funk, to an impromptu unplugged Latin Jazz set (performed during a "rainout" and under an overhang); our artists delighted the crowds and kept people dancing and smiling all summer. 

  The lighting for our concerts, provided by Rich Owen at Northern Lights, helped create the atmosphere for our shows.  You may not have noticed it at the start of each show, but as the sun set on Blue Back Square, Rich's setup certainly enhanced the concert experience for everyone involved!

The sound - provided spectacularly, once again, by SP3 - was the perfect compliment to our amazing artists and venue, and we couldn't have asked for a better-sounding season series!

A big thanks to all who participated in making this a summer to remember: Barbara Lerner and Ronus Properties, Jeff Simon and his sound crew at SP3, Rich Owen and Northern Lights, our wonderful bands and the most important part: everyone who came out to enjoy the music! 

If you are in the Hartford area, definitely drop by the pergola at Blue Back Square in West Hartford, CT for our final band this Wednesday night, from 7:00-9:00pm.  This summer's series will close with a performance by CT-based classic-country band Gunsmoke, in what promises to be a fitting finish to a wonderful season.

Hope you can all make it out this Wednesday - if not, we'll see you next year!
