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, June 11: Rob Flax's Boom Chick Trio

Rooted in equal parts hot swing, snarky songwriting, and lyrical storytelling, this energetic trio of virtuoso violin, guitar, and bass plus three part harmony vocals will transport you to a speakeasy somewhere in the back of a bar. You might not be able to sit still in your seat, and you’ll probably have a smile on your face most of the show!

Rob Flax's Boom Chick Trio is Rob Flax (an award-winning multi-instrumentalist, composer, and educator with a playful heart and an open mind), Slava Tolstoy (a Boston based guitarist, singer and producer, originally from St. Petersburg Russia), and Felix Sartori (a bassist, percussionist, and multi-instrumentalist currently based out of Boston).

 

Plan your visit

  • Limited seating is available on Betsy Paterson Square. You are welcome to bring your lawn chairs and/or blankets.

  • Enjoy dinner at your favorite Downtown Storrs restaurant before the concert, or bring your take out to the Square (no alcohol, please). 

  • Parking is available in the Downtown Storrs Parking Garage, which is free for your first 2 hours and just $1/hour thereafter. The garage is about a 3-minute walk from Betsy Paterson Square.

  • Weather changes will be announced on our website, mansfieldmusic.org, and on the Downtown Storrs Facebook page (@DowntownStorrs).
