West Chester Announces Concert in the Park Lineup

The West Chester Department of Parks and Recreation has named its lineup for the annual summer concert series beginning in July.

These concerts are free and open to the public, and they occur on the last Friday of the month at 6:30 p.m. in .

Kicking off the series is Stonehaven Minstrels.  Stonehaven Minstrels is a West Chester-based folk band with a heavy emphasis on string work.  Their influences sound more English than Celtic.  They will be performing on July 29.

For August, the band Back2Life is on deck.  Back2Life is a more traditional cover band that focuses on upbeat pop and rock standards.  They will be performing on August 26.

To close out the series, the Barbone Street Jazz Band will perform on September 30.  Obviously, jazz is the main focus of the Barbone Street Jazz Band, but the emphasis is on the "Dixieland" style of jazz.  "Dixieland" is just a fancy way to say New Orleans influenced.
