LIVE MUSIC AT 6PM AT THE VILLAGE BANDSHELL WITH HAMMER & STEEL
Two prominent regional bands - Hammerhead Horns (Boogie from the Bayou) and Long Steel Rail (Southern Stringband Sound) - with roots in Millbrook, NY are co-headliners for a special concert at the Millbrook Bandshell. Each group will perform their own distinctive take on particular traditions of American Roots Music. Then they’ll combine forces and you’ll hear how those streams flow together to release the torrent of musical energy, excitement and imagination that we simply call Rock.
