The FREE Third Annual Brewster Summer Music Series (BSMS) presented by the Cultural Arts Coalition continues Wednesday, June 28th following the successful relaunch last week at the Southeast Veterans Park Gazebo at Electrozone Field on June 21, 2023.
The outdoor music begins Wednesday night at 6:30 PM with Brewster resident George Mallas behind the keys to warming up the audience for the former Brewster HS graduates that comprise ⅓ of Sophie. “This week we are keeping it local with our line up. George Mallas is an original singer/songwriter and podcast host who is an absolute crowd pleaser,” event co-chair Jacque Roche remarked. When asked about the headlining act, co-chair, Katy Faivre continued, “we are expecting a good crowd this coming week, and are looking forward to the return of local popular band, ⅓ of Sophie who keeps it fun with their sweet funky, spacy arrangements.”
The series continues with successive performances (weather permitting) every Wednesday evening throughout July 26th as follows: July 5, Jay Prince & Friends will celebrate the July 4th holiday, supported by an open gallery reading by Francine Tesler, psychic medium at 6:30 PM.
