Arts Place is kicking off live music in Portland with Arts Place Live at Hudson Family Park! This short and sweet summer series consists of two concerts that are totally free to you and your family. It begins on Thursday, June 24th at 7:00 PM with Dave Bennett’s “Roots of Pop: From Swing to Rock.” Bennett is a clarinet virtuoso who plays electric guitar, piano, drums, AND vocalizes. Swing to Rock: covers music from the Swing Era to early Rockabilly and Country, to Elvis Presley and more. This is sure to be a fun and lively concert for your whole family. Dave Bennett and his quartet will also be performing in a free educational workshop held at the Portland Center of Arts Place earlier in the day at 3:30 PM. This one of a kind experience where you’ll meet the artist and participate in a jam session is one you’ll never forget! Visit artsland.org to reserve tickets for both these events. Again, they are totally free!
