FAIR HAVEN—Fair Haven’s Concert Committee has been busy throughout the past year lining up performers for the 2023 Summer Series. This summer the committee is going back to hosting ten summer concerts. They will be held on Thursday evenings beginning June 22 . Concerts begin promptly at 7 p.m.
The first concert of the season features a Waylon Jennings tribute band, Wailon. They performed last year and the crowd really enjoyed them. The Spirit of Johnny Cash has been invited to perform as will Harold Ford and friends on July 20. Two groups performing for the first time in Fair Haven are Atlantic Crossing and Whiskey River. Atlantic Crossing plays Celtic music and Whiskey River plays classic country.
Returning this year are Studio Two, the Beatles tribute band Studio Two, Mellow Yellow, Twangbusters, Blue Jay Way, and Aaron Audet. These bands are very popular and lay down a groove that encourages singing, clapping, and tapping along the performances. The last concert of the season is Aug. 24 featuring Shake, Rattle and Roll who will take the stage with music of the ’50s and ’60s.
This year, the Congregational Church at the north end of the park has opened their doors to serve as a rain location and there were many sponsors and local community businesses that helped support the concert series with donations of not only financial support, but prizes for the raffles helped with the organization of the upcoming performances. 50/50 tickets will be sold, along with hot dogs, popcorn, water, and sodas. There will be free ice cream nights.
