Our Summer Concerts on the Square continue tomorrow with Rob Flax's Boom Chick Trio! 🎻

Rooted in equal parts hot swing, snarky songwriting, and lyrical storytelling, this energetic trio of virtuoso violin, guitar, and bass plus three part harmony vocals will transport you to a speakeasy somewhere in the back of a bar.

Come hear their “Hotshot swing, crackerjack instrumentals, superb harmonies & hysterical stagecraft” —The Folk Project

📅 Thursday, June 11
⏰ 6:30 - 8:00 PM
