What better way to spend a summer’s evening than sprawled in the park listening to live music?
The Arts Council of New Westminster is giving everyone a chance to do just that. The arts council jusut announced an expansion of its Music by the River concert series.
Along with the regular weekend busking performances in the afternoons at River Market, the series will now include Thursday night concerts on the festival lawn at Westminster Pier Park.
First up, on July 7, audiences will be able to enjoy the sounds of singer-songwriter Ranj Singh, with his brand of Indo-folk music – a blend of Indian melodies and rhythms with Western folk music.
On July 14, East Coast musician Bruce Andrews takes to the stage, while July 21 will see the talents of singer-songwriter Norine Braun and Alice Fraser.
For the final concert of July, Banx will bring his repertoire, including an array of covers and original tunes, to the stage – for a special Give’r on the River, 1990s grunge-themed event. “Flannel, plaid and ripped jeans are encouraged,” a press release notes.
All the concerts are set to start at 6:30 p.m.
