2008 details coming! Here's a sampling from our 2007 season:

Lawrence Community Concert Band  Music: Our hometown band! Performing a variety of music including Broadway favorites, patriotic pieces, Sousa marches, classical and semi-classical numbers for Mercer County area audiences at civic and other occasions since its founding in 1992.

Riverside Music: Bluegrass This 4-piece ensemble plays a mix of country, rock and swing on traditional acoustic bluegrass instruments – banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and upright bass. Their 3-part harmonies bring a bluegrass flavor to songs by the Beatles and The Byrds and to country standards and western swing music by such artists as Hank Williams and , of course, many new and old bluegrass songs.

Sun Dog Music: Good time rock ‘n roll This 5-piece, Central Jersey favorite band plays the best in good-time rock ‘n roll. Their exciting sound is a unique blend of male/female vocal harmonies, acoustic and electric guitars, synthesizer guitar and sax. The repertoire includes the best in classics and contemporary rock, country rock, blues and original songs.

The Hazbins  Music: ‘60s and ‘70s Rock Guitars, keyboard, bass and vocals are used by this 5-piece combo to cover great old rock songs from the ‘60s and ‘70s- the familiar as well as rarely-played jewels from the deeper recesses of our musical memories.Main Street fans have enjoyed this group at our annual Jubileee fair.

The Priority Five  Music: Dixieland Exciting Dixieland by a traditional jazz band – trumpet, trombone, clarinet, banjo, drums, piano and tuba – which has been playing swinging favorites in the Trenton/Princeton area for a variety of audiences since 1993.

The Blawenburg Band Music: Full community band sound Always a Music in the Park favorite, this large band was founded in Blawenburg, N.J. in 1890 in the great tradition of town bands. It concentrates on Sousa and other marches, Americana, patriotic songs and othe traditional concert band music. Led by Rider professor Jerry Rife and with over 50 players, it really delivers a full, large band sound.

In case of inclement weather Call 609 219-9300 after 4pm the day of the event - a recorded message will be left indicating if the evening's concert is canceled. No message means the concert will proceed as scheduled. Program events are subject to change!

Since the summer of 2001, we have been filling Weeden Park with the sounds of established regional musicians. Bring friends and family to the park for a relaxing evening - and consider bringing a chair, blanket and picnic too. Or plan for a regular meal as well.
