Two Free Concert Series Curated by NewSong Music take place throughout July
Satisfy your summer craving for quality live music with two FREE concert series from NewSong Music and Arts Brookfield: Melody + Word in New York City and Summer on the Plaza in Denver, CO. “We’re very excited to once again partner with Arts Brookfield to curate these two summer music series,” says NewSong Music founder Gar Ragland. “Denver’s lineup features some of Colorado’s most beloved rock bands, while New York’s ‘Melody + Word’ series at Grace Plaza, as the name suggests, aims the spotlight on songcraft.”
Full details for Melody + Word and Summer on the Plaza concert series below.
Melody + Word at the Grace Plaza is a free, lunchtime festival in New York with musical stylings ranging folk-pop to funk. “All four performers were brought to our attention as standouts in our annual, international NewSong Showcase and Competition,” says Ragland. “We’re thrilled to feature last year’s NewSong grand prize winner Rachael Kilgour, along with runner-up finalists Queen Esther and BONOMO.”
