Haverhill’s popular summer outdoor concert series returns to the Bradford Common this week but on a new night.
Instead of Fridays, this year’s concerts will be held on six consecutive Thursdays from 6 to 8 p.m. beginning this Thursday, July 10. Now renamed “Thursday Nights Live,” the first concert will feature EJ Ouellette with an opening set of Delta blues by Paul Prue and Peter Chase.
The series also has a new sponsor as Team Haverhill is taking over from Prue who started the series 16 years ago.
Two performing groups are scheduled each week. Music from various genres will be featured including folk, rock, blues and country. Among those performing are Danielle Miraglia and the Glory Junkies, Nate Perry and Ragged Company and Life of the Party. The full schedule is at ThursdayNightsLive.com.
Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets, snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome. On-street parking is available, though walking and cycling is encouraged.
The free series is made possible by grant support from First Church of Christ, Bradford, Haverhill Bank and the Haverhill Cultural Council.
