SHERBURNE – Sherburne Rotary’s Music in the Park is in the midst of its twentieth season of free concerts in Gaines Park on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m. The third concert of the season is on Wednesday, July 15, when The Tweedlers will be playing for your listening pleasure.

The Tweedlers consists of three men who bring a wide array of musical styles. They play guitar, mandolin, bass and joyful voices. Find something for everyone, ranging from waltzes, love songs, bluegrass, classic country, and old time rock and roll. Their youthful energy matches the music of past eras. They have performed across New York at fairs, churches and nursing homes. They describe themselves as the male version of Red Molly, a group who come to our series a couple of years ago

The Sherburne Rotary Club has brought this concert series to you for 20 years now and some things are standard. People bring their own chairs or blankets, arrive early to get great seats and wait for the french fries to come out of the fryer. People see neighbors, and bring their children to dance and frolic in the park. You can have a picnic or purchase food at the Rotary booth, where the menu includes burgers, dogs, fries, homemade pies and Gilligan’s ice cream . We have put in our request for wonderful weather but just in case, bring a raincoat if it sprinkles and we will be moving the concerts indoors in a downpour.

This concert series is free because of the generous spirit of sponsors, patrons. This concert is sponsored by Stewart’s Shops, Manpower, and Judy’s Coffee Shop. Rotary sells raffle tickets for the 50/50 raffle, with the winner taking half of the money and the other half going to one of our local food pantries.

Make it a point to listen to at least one, if not all of these wonderful concerts, this summer in beautiful downtown Sherburne.
