Rochester – The third weekend of The Summer Music Series from the garden stages of The Governor’s Inn brings a vivid combination of Blues, Country, Rock, and Bluegrass . All shows are outdoors, free, with varying times as stated below.
‘Acoustic Fridays on the Front Lawn’ kicks off Friday July 9 from 6-10pm with “Poor Howard” Stith classic twelve-string blues accompanied by the King of harmonica, Mike “Bullfrog” Rogers. This dynamic blues duo showcases heartfelt vocals, dazzling guitar and harmonica coupled with Howard’s endless anecdotes, puns and shaggy-dog stories. Scott Alarik, folk music writer for the Boston Globe said "Poor Howard's 12-string guitar has the solid propulsive groove of a stead-moving freight train; and he has an uncanny way of singing classic blues tunes as if their hard luck stories were happening today.”
On Saturday night, July 10, it’s the “Nickless Band” featuring Rochester ’s notorious Art Nickless along with his daughter Brianne and brother Jeff Nickless kickin’ out country music and rock as part at the Café at The Governor’s Inn ’s Rockin’ Saturday series. Performance from the garden stage of The Cafe at the Governor’s Inn , with a full menu available.
Then on Sunday, July 11, it’s everyone’s favorite bluegrass, The New England Bluegrass Band (NEBB), featuring Cecil Abels and his entourage of fabulous players from New England . Returning to the Inn for their seventh annual concert, this is one show to show up early for and get a seat or claim a patch of grass for your lawn blanket. The NEBB will perform from 4-7pm, rain or shine, with a casual menu and BBQ available, and donations for the band encouraged. Sundays are family friendly for a classic Sunday garden party to end the weekend.
