On July 11th, regional vocalist Kevin Downey returns to Thursday in the Park’s concert series. We are happy to invite our old crooner friend Kevin back, along with some of his friends. He says in his Facebook biography: “I want people to remember me as a talented musician, an innovative artist and a friendly human being that always did my best. Also, that I truly had fun doing it, others benefiting from my choice of color, notation, etc. I want to show people how beautiful I see life as, in time (music) or in space (art). All of this done with the help of family, friends, and mentors I meet along the journey. But, ultimately, I did it, I’m doing it, & I will continue to do it all my own unique way.”

It’s time for a Thursday in the Park like no other! While there have been other posts discussing our plans for the Old Fashioned Fourth of July Festival, this independence day, even if you have no interest in any of the other activities going on, you can enjoy a full day of music at the park!

Beginning at 1PM, we’ll be featuring Bill Beggs and The Dixie Doodlers.
From Dixieland to American Jazz, the Dixie Doodlers break into a progressive jazz ensemble which demonstrates their flexibility and versatility, and they’ll be sure to set the stage for our Independence Day Celebration.

Then at 3PM, we welcome regional hit Kokomo Time Band! Specifically called out as many people’s favorite act of the year last year, they’ll bring surf rock styling to your ears along with many other golden oldies!

Finally at 6PM, last year’s best attended performer, Happy Days will be here again! Gabriele Ross Giuffre and his wife Mary are here to play the classic Rock’n’Roll that you know and love, and put a true showman’s touch to the whole experience!

This all day musical experience has been made possible with support from multiple granting organizations. We couldn’t have done it without their help!

The Old Fashioned Fourth of July Festival was also sponsored in part by funds received via a grant from Erie County Gaming revenue Authority.

Rounding out the month of June, House of Rhythm returns to the City Park Gazebo. An eclictic mix of rock, folk, jazz, and blues, Jim and Jackson Froman, accompanied by drummer Dave Keem, combine to showcase their many decades of experience as musicians. House of Rhythm always attracts a crowd, so be sure to bring a comfortable chair and stake out your spot, then settle in for the show!

Local rockers Knuckle Down enter the gazebo this Thursday to showcase more up and coming talent right here in Corry. Well known for entertaining the bar scene as well as benefits and private parties, Knuckle Down plays an eclictic mix of classic and modern rock, and mixes a few original tunes in to boot.
They were also featured in regular rotation on Corry Radio 98.9 as their song Cloudy was the third most requested song last year! Their set this week will be appropriate for all ages, so bring out the family, bring along a bite, and enjoy another exciting hometown band!
