BOSCAWEN'S HIGH STREET COFFEE HOUSE HOSTS 'CONCERT IN THE PARK' WITH THREE BANDS ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 3RD
Join us for the Boscawen’s High Street Coffee House 'concert in the park’ scheduled for Saturday, August 3rd, 4-7PM at the Church Park located in Boscawen. This day in the park promises to be a great time with three fantastic bands that include High Street Coffee House favorites - Bow Junction, Country Comfort and Second Wind.
Many of you know Bow Junction, featuring Randy Hencke, Linda Magoon, Russ Aubertin, and Glen Leathers who deliver a diverse blend of hard driving bluegrass and folk with a touch of Celtic and gospel. They combine a respect for tradition with an ear for innovation, and this seasoned New Hampshire band has been entertaining audiences at town fairs, church halls, and concert stages since 2003. Their influences included Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, Ricky Skaggs, Emmylou Harris, and many more.
Another one of our favorite bands is Country Comfort, comprised of Mike English and Liz Kantz. This acoustic duo performs tunes from the 60’s and up, Americana style music, and original songs written by both singer/songwriters. Both Mike and Liz have been musicians from a young age and together as a duo, specialize in tight harmonies and melodies. Their playlist is sure to include songs that people know and love and can sing along with.
We are thrilled that Second Wind is in the lineup featuring Terry Ray Gould and Suzi Hastings. Friends for 30 years and playing music together for 15 years, they have a way of bringing out smiles, laughter, and a true appreciation of the moment wherever they go . . . classy, definitely a bit sassy, and always fun. You will be amazed at the variety of songs this acoustic duo covers. Enjoy their brand of music played straight from the heart . . . with a touch of fire. Second Wind's music style falls into easy listening, folk/soft rock, with songs and a style that are instantly familiar, fresh and engaging. Songs cover all genres of popular music, covering female artists ranging from Nora Jones and Bonnie Raitt, to Tracy Chapman and Taylor Swift, and male artists ranging from Lyle Lovett and Bruce Springsteen, to Bon Jovi and many more. Terry and Suzi, together as Second Wind, will make you smile, relax, kick off your shoes, sing out loud and enjoy the moment with friends.
This ‘concert in the park’ is family friendly and geared for all ages. Plenty of room for family and friends to spread out and a playground for the youngsters. As the park has very little shade, we suggest you bring sun protection and don’t forget your chair. Boscawen’s Church Park is located at 273 King Street, Boscawen, NH. Make sure you bring your appetite as the High Street Coffee House volunteers are the best cooks! The grills will be going with plans to sell hamburgers, hotdogs, Italian sausage, cold drinks, summer salads, and desserts. Music starts at 4PM and will be wrapped up around 7PM. Admission is always FREE, though a donation basket will be passed.
Worried about the park's accessibility? For those that have difficulty walking from the parking lot, Coffee House volunteers will guide your vehicle right up into the park. Questions? Call Chris at 603-520-9196 or email [email protected]. As always, bring a friend!
