The weather might be erratic these days, but rest assured: spring is just around the corner. And with the changing of the seasons comes the 2011 season of Music on Main Street, a rocking spring concert series guaranteed to make you forget all about late-March snowfalls. This year’s line up includes famous musicians from the ’60s and beyond–reconnect with old favorites and discover a tune or two with this star-packed series.
Held at the United Methodist Church in Woodbridge, this year’s series starts on March 30th with an alt-rock and folk performance by John Doe and Jill Sobule. As April rolls around, look forward to Traffic guitarist and all-around rocker Dave Mason, coming to town on the 13th. Come May, performances are happening each and every Wednesday night: on the 4th, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds is flying on through; on the 11th, the Nu-Utopians will jam out to the songs of John Lennon; on the 18th, ’60s duo Chad and Jeremy are bringing back some old favorites; and on the 25th, Raul Malo of the Mavericks is belting some of his soulful medleys.
