There are a couple of new guidelines this year, first, maintain six feet of distance between yourselves and the next group and wear a mask (per Executive Order 163 for outdoor gatherings, though that has since been superseded by Executive Order 241 eliminating both of those requirements). There’s no formal seating available but if you’re an individual that needs to sit down, feel free to bring your own chair to do so.

Rules aside, here’s the remaining schedule for the year:

June 19: The Frost Kings a swing, blues, and R&B band from North Jersey.

June 26: Mail Order Bride a high energy rock cover band covering hits from U2, Aerosmith, Metallica, Bon Jovi, and more.

July 3: Bob Lanza a blues singer and guitarist.

July 10: Nick Ryan and The Mess a high-energy band that has drawn comparisons to Springsteen.

July 17: John Busse a guitarist and singer/songwriter from Somerville.

July 24: The Bryan Hansen Band an alternative rock band that’s a mix of funk, rock, soul, and R&B that have been compared to The Weeknd, Harry Styles, and Maroon 5.

July 31: The Broadcasters a rock cover band playing mainstream hits from classic to current.

August 7: Zaire a three piece acoustic trio known for their strong harmonies and covers of The Eagles, Tom Petty, and Radiohead.

August 14: The School of Rock located on South Bridge Street, their band will take the stage and show off what they’ve learned.

August 21: Venture to Zen a rock/acoustic zen band performing original songs as well as covering classics from Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin, Heart, Journey, and more.

August 28: Rainbow Fresh a unique sounding band that is like Led Zeppelin performing Steely Dan with a little Latin groove on top.

September 4: Sun Dog a band that performs the best in classic rock, country rock, classic country, some Motown, and some original songs.

September 11: Art All Day, The Outcrops, a blues-infused rock and roll band from 12-3 and Bob Lanza from 4-7

September 18: Terrence Haupt, playing a variety of originals, oldies, pop, and classic rock

September 25: Ready Set Go a party rock country cover band

October 2: Mike Holland as “Elvis” – well, three guesses what this might be about.
