Summer Concerts on the Square: HUSH CLUB
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 23: Hush Club
Somerville, MA’s Hush Club, comprised of Alasdair MacKenzie and Liz Kantor, makes lush, melodic, and propulsive indie rock that examines the nuances of our shared human experience. WBUR describes Hush Club’s music as “groovy, swaying tunes with catchy guitar riffs and melodies about falling in and out of love.” Their latest single, “Violet Cure,” explores the liberation and sensual thrill of new love over an irresistible beat.
Hush Club has sold out headlining shows at the Sinclair in Cambridge, MA and Brighton Music Hall in Boston, MA and toured the northeastern US. The band has been featured twice in The Boston Globe and been nominated twice for the Boston Music Awards (Album/EP of the Year and Folk Artist of the Year). Hush Club has opened for national and international touring acts including Neon Trees, Melt, Michael Seyer, Hermitage Green, Juice, French Cassettes, Wabie, and Will Leet (of Sammy Rae & the Friends), and the band’s music has been praised by WBUR, Under the Radar, Glide Magazine, Vanyaland, and Boston Hassle.
