Rochester SUMMER MUSIC SERIES

ROCHESTER – A full, fantastic summer of free, live music held outdoors in the gardens of The Governor’s Inn begins on Friday, June 18.

A whopping thirty-nine musical acts have been booked for a run which has been extended this year to three and a half months. Three types of music are being offered …

Acoustic Fridays on the Front Lawn
A new series to the Inn, scheduled on the front lawn in front of the Inn’s new Spaulding Steak & Ale restaurant. Solo, duo, and trios of top-notch acoustic musicians will perform Friday evenings from 7 to 10 pm where guests may choose to sit at garden tables or on the new deck.

Rockin' Saturdays at The Cafe
Classic Rock that’s sure to please the crowd. These Saturday night concerts feature local area bands perform from the garden stage at The Cafe. These surprisingly talented performers make for a lively Saturday night crowd. 7 to 10pm.

The Sunday Garden Concerts
Blues, Bluegrass, Folk, and Americana - This music series has become a popular tradition among music lovers to end the weekend on a Sunday afternoon in an idyllic garden setting. The impressive lineup of regional touring bands brings talent recognized nationally who have performed at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, National Public Radio’s “Mountain Stage,” the famed Philadelphia Folk Festival and other widely acclaimed venues across the country.

The Sunday concerts are family affairs in an idyllic garden setting where people can choose to sit in the enclosed serving area with tables, or bring their own lawn blankets or chairs and enjoy the concert up close. Families are welcome as the expansive gardens allow families with children to roam about, swing on seats from the huge oaks, play horseshoes or Bocce Ball. Sundays from 4 to 7pm.
