Summer Concerts on the Square: COPILOT
GET READY TO GET DOWN(TOWN)!
The Mansfield Downtown Partnership and the Town of Mansfield host free concerts every Thursday in June and July on Betsy Paterson Square in Downtown Storrs. All performances will take place from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM. All of the concerts are free and open to the public. The rain dates are on the following Tuesday, unless otherwise noted.
The 2025 Summer Concerts on the Square will feature performers from as close to home as Hartford and as far afield as Nashville, TN. Audiences will enjoy performances of cumbia, rock, bluegrass, indie pop, funk, and more.
Among the regular performances is a special event, a Community Bluegrass Jam! Bring your (acoustic) instruments and join Waldron’s Studio 88 and the Mansfield Pickers for an evening of community-driven music. All ages, all abilities welcome to pick along - or just sit back and enjoy the music!
JULY 10: COPILOT
Copilot is a dynamically fun Rock-Pop band from Boston, MA that was formed in 2018. Maggie Hall, Ry McDonald, Jake Machell, Dylan Allwine, Austin Beveridge, and Jack Snow met between High School/College in Massachusetts and Vermont, often crossing paths while performing in their own musical projects. After coming together for an unplanned house party performance, the group decided to team up and ride together.
The powerful triage of singers drive the band’s sound. Maggie, Ry, & Jake’s unique voices create a blend of harmonies with depth & character that propels an electric live performance. The always oscillating 3 lead singers allow Copilot to travel all over the emotional spectrum, creating a myriad of musical ideas. The group's sound is centered by the rhythm section of Bev (bass), Dylan (drums) and lead guitarist, Jack Snow. The backing trio provides Copilot with an upbeat bounce & steady groove that locks in the band’s signature retro Rock-Pop style.
