Concert of the Week: Headlands, a group that plays folk and country music, performs next Wednesday night at the Saugus Iron Works

Headlands, a North Shore-based group, will perform this Wednesday (Aug. 21) at 6 p.m. in a free concert at the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. With their exciting three-part vocals that put their stamp on whichever musical genre they choose, Headlands has been playing at clubs, restaurants, outdoor festivals and private events since 2017. Whether an acoustic trio or a full-blown band with percussion, fiddle and horns, the group aims to treat their audiences to thrilling harmonies, tight arrangements and humor. ​This Rockport-based group plays rock, Americana, country, folk and even a little bluegrass.

Including this week’s concert, that’s six down and two more Wednesday nights to go in the program cosponsored by the Saugus Public Library and the Saugus Iron Works. The free concerts at the Iron Works were organized by Saugus Public Library and will continue each Wednesday evening through the summer, weather permitting, from 6 to 8 p.m. Here’s the remaining performances of the 2024 lineup:

August 21: Headlands (Folk, Country, Americana Pop).

August 28: JumpStreet (Rock, R&B, Blues & Jazz).

The concert series celebrates local musical talents and creates opportunities for residents and visitors to engage with the Saugus Iron Works Historic Site during evening hours. The concerts are held on the upper lawn located at 244 Central St. in Saugus. Bring your own chair or blanket and enjoy live music at the Iron Works.
