BID’s music series begins Wednesday
NORWICH – For several years the Business Improvement District has been providing lunch hour excitement with their Lunch in the Park music series. This year the series is back with a new name and a great line-up that will hopefully bring people out on their lunch hour.
“Lunch Live!” will begin on Wednesday, July 18. The concert series, which is free and open to the public, kicks off with local performer Tom Rasley. According to BID Executive Director Pegi LoPresti, Rasley sings and plays guitar. “He’s a local favorite everyone always enjoys,” she said.
The Wednesday concert series continues on July 25 with Pamme Swan, a performer originating from Earlville. Swan mixes classic music with a few original songs. She has performed at countless locations across central New York and Pennsylvania for the past two decades.
August 1 a musical group called The Tweedlers will be on hand. The old time trio consists of Eric Lipper on guitar and vocals, Russ Bellair on mandolin and vocals and Jonathan Scozia on bass and vocals. “They’re a fun group,” LoPresti said, explaining that the band performed last year, but because of the hot and muggy weather, the turn out was lower than expected. “We decided to bring them back for this year, and hopefully it won’t be too hot,” she said.
The concert series will take a break during the week of the Chenango County Fair, and will return on August 15 for their final performance. Aaron and Claudia Karppala will perform an upbeat and family friendly set of music from the 40s to the 80s. They pay special tribute to some performers like Elvis, Dean Martin, Anne Murray and Patsy Cline.
The BID’s Lunch Live! series will be held from 12 to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays at the bandstand in East Park. “We encourage everyone to grab a bag lunch and come down to the park to enjoy the entertainment,” LoPresti said. In the event of rain, the concerts will be postponed until the following day.
“The BID is always pleased to be down town during lunch,” LoPresti said. The BID has encouraged the Farmers Market to stay open for the increased lunch time crowd. They also encourage concert goers to check out the selection at the Farmers Market.
