Summer Concerts on the Square: HAWK IN THE NEST
Summer Concerts on the Square
Enjoy free, live music in Downtown Storrs, all summer long! The Mansfield Downtown Partnership will host free concerts on Betsy Paterson Square every Thursday in June, July and August. The concerts place from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM and are free and open to all ages to attend.
Thursday, July 30: Hawk In The Nest
On record, Hawk in the Nest is a fully complete orchestral indie pop rhythm & blues outfit, horn section and all. On paper, Hawk In The Nest is the full-band project of award winning singer-songwriter Avi Jacob, who celebrates elements of Folk, Indie Pop and Americana along with R&B. Produced with drummer Wolfgang Zimmerman (producer of Band of Horses #1 hit Crutch) & bassist Joel Hamilton, the album also features piano virtuoso Noah Jones of the Psycodelics, and Michael Quinn of Doom Flamingo on horns. It is Avi's first full length album of his career. For fans of Alabama Shakes, Ray Lamontagne, and Lake Street Dive, this carefully crafted long-player is a soulful work of art. The album is led by certified bop, "Don't leave me this way" and the tender, dreamy single, “Baby Baby Baby Baby.”
