NBT Bank Free Thursdays Summer Concert Series kicks-off with "Victor Wainwright and the Train"
NORWICH – The 2018 NBT Bank Free Thursdays Summer Concert Series will kick-off at 7 p.m. Thursday night in Norwich's East Park with the musical stylings of "Victor Wainwright and The Train" following a commemorative community block party presented by the Chenango Blues Association at 6:30 p.m.
Victor Wainwright and The Train will take to the stage following the block party commemorating the first summer concert of the series, featuring free Nina's pizza, Gilligan's ice cream by the Norwich cheer team, hot dogs by the Norwich Rotary, and Cabot's Cheese by Cabot's Community Team in East Park while supplies last.
The concert will be the first of nine in the series running every Thursday night through the end of the month of August.
A composer, producer, vocalist, piano player, and award-winning entertainer, Wainwright has been named "Pinetop Perkins Piano Player of the Year" at the Blues Music Awards in 2013 and 2014, and also in 2013, his collaborative album "Easy Livin'" climbed into the Top 10 of the United States' Billboard Top Blues Album Chart.
The Chenango Blues Association has said of Wainwright, "His insatiable interest in music discovery, sheer love for entertaining and curiosity have led him all around the world, and the resulting perspective is a reflection of his passion for entertaining and creating progressive roots music in an effort to move the art-form forward," adding that his music represents "...virtually every corner of the blues."
Victor Wainwright and the Train's performance on Thursday evening will be followed by Giant Panda Geurilla Dub Squad on July 12, Honey Island Swamp Band on July 19, Bumper Jacksons on July 26, Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers on August 2, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jules on August 16, Yonder Mountain String Band on August 23, and Shinyribs on August 30.
Each show will start at 7 p.m. and will be held in Norwich's East Park, except in the case of rain when it will be moved to the Chenango Arts Council, located at 27 West Main Street in Norwich.
The 2018 NBT Bank Free Thursdays Summer Concert Series presented by the Chenango Blues Association is made possible by corporate sponsor NBT Bank and through grants from the Greater Norwich Foundation, the R.C. Smith Foundation, and the Community Foundation.
The 26th annual Chenango Blues Fest will be held on Friday and Saturday, August 17 and 18. For more information on the summer concert series or the 2018 Chenango Blues Fest, visit www.chenangobluesfest.org.
