The Bands of Summer Continue

NEXT UP: The Memorylaners are scheduled to perform a free concert at the Saugus Iron Works. The band, a longtime local favorite, will be performing a variety of music from the 50s, 60s and 70s on Wednesday (July 16) night as a series of free summer concerts continues at the Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site. This marks the fourth consecutive summer that the Saugus Public Library and the National Park Service will be collaborating on a local outdoor event that seems to get more popular every year.

The concert series celebrates local musical talents in Essex County and creates opportunities for residents and visitors to engage with the park during evening hours. Shows begin at 6 p.m. each Wednesday evening in July and August. People can bring blankets and chairs, snacks, etc. The events take place on the stage behind the museum building, and spectators can settle down on the upper lawn. It is suitable for all ages. Restrooms are available until nearly 8 p.m., when the concerts conclude.

If the weather looks bad for any particular Wednesday, concert goers are urged to check the library website (www.sauguspubliclibrary.org) for cancellations on that day.

Here is the rest of the schedule:

  • July 23: Squeeze Box Stompers (Cajun, Zydeco, Blues & Folk).
  • July 30: Atwater~Donnelly (Traditional American & Celtic Folk Music, Percussive Dance).
  • August 6: Ditto (Acoustic Music, 60s & 70s).
  • August 13: John Jerome (Rock, Pop, Country, Hip-Hop).
  • August 20: Jon Waterman (a journey through the roots of American popular music).
  • August 27: Jump Street (Classic Rock, Motown, Jazz and Funk).
