The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall is thrilled to announce the return of free outdoor concert series; Barker Park Kid’s series! Barker Park shows are at 11am on Thursdays during July and August. Barker Park is located at the corner of 3rd and State Streets.
WMHT Public Media and WEXT Radio are excited to join the Barker Park Series on July 17th to introduce the newest show from PBS KIDS: ACOUSTIC ROOSTER AND HIS BARNYARD BAND! A guitar-strumming Rooster arrives at the Bebop Barnyard and learns to collaborate with other musicians. He discovers that the heart of Jazz lies in everyone being free to play together. Each child who attends will receive a free copy of Acoustic Rooster and Friends, the beloved children’s book by Kwame Alexander (while supplies last).
Heard is a collective of musicians that bring their skills and passion for world music, jazz and improvising together to create irresistible grooves set in a unique sonic tapestry. Together for 15 years, their vibrant sound incorporates influences from West Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean and beyond. Their debut CD Karibu reached #15 on the WorldJazz charts and 2018's daring Flyway is similarly garnering much critical acclaim.
Heard is a 4 time Eddy Music Awards nominee in the World Music category.
Energetic & upbeat, Heard will open your ears & hearts..and get you up and dancing!
