Thursdays on the Dock: Parker’s Tangent

Thursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple for 16 years and remains the premier destination for waterfront music. Swing by each Thursday evening in July and August, bring a chair or blanket, listen to a free concert, and watch the sun go down over the river.

Parker’s Tangent plays rock music inspired by the sounds of the blues.Their music ranges from poetic, quiet and touching to bluesy and soulful, with vocals similar to Grace Slick and Nora Jones. Their sound includes drums, percussion, lead and rhythm guitars, bass and violin. They are a regional, professional working band based out of greater New Haven CT, with music that is extremely accessible and can be enjoyed by people of virtually all ages.

They have been together over twenty years and have performed at hundreds and hundreds of bookings including Toads’ Place, the main stage of the New Haven Green, The International Festival of Arts and Ideas, Westport’s Blues, Views and Bar-B-Que Festival, the Phoenix, the Bedford Playhouse Clive Davis Art Center [NY] Long Wharf Theater, the CT Garlic and Harvest Festival and many more!
