Summer Concerts on the Square: JAKE KULAK and THE MODERN VANDALS
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 16: Jake Kulak and The Modern Vandals
Jake Kulak and The Modern Vandals are battle-tested live performers with a garage rock attitude and an unrelenting big sound that commands any room. Consisting of frontman Jake Kulak (Vocals/Lead Guitar), Olivia Di Maio (Bass), Jeremy Peck (Drums) and Steve Isherwood (Guitar), the band has a synergetic chemistry cultivated through constant live performing. Kulak’s foundational background in Blues guitar has heavily influenced the band’s style and approach to live performance. The Modern Vandals’ impressive improvisational skills ensure no two shows are ever the same.
