Rockin' the Park, Lancaster NH

Summer concert series in Centennial Park, Lancaster, NH. Rock in the park. The last few years the Noyes Lecture Fund has been our primary sponsor.

Rockin' the Park is an outdoor summer concert series that takes place in Centennial Park in Lancaster, NH. Started in 2017, it was originally hosted by Taproot Farm & Environmental Education Center. Following a year off for the pandemic, it started up again, run by a small group with the goal of featuring live music in Lancaster while bringing the community together. Local & regional bands from th

e North Country, New Hampshire, and New England are selected for the quality and diversity of their sound, and their professionalism. There is often a food vendor at each event, and 100-200+ people gathered in the park enjoying a musical evening together. Answers to FAQs:

• Concerts are free and open to the public.

• If the weather is bad, the Lancaster Town Hall is the backup location.

• Concerts start at 7:00 pm and run till 8:30. If there is a food vendor they usually start selling between 5:00 and 6:00.

• First concert is typically the 1st Friday in July.

• We prefer to feature full bands rather than solo artists or duos, as there are more places for smaller acts to perform. To put the "Rockin'" in Rockin' the Park, we look for bands that have a drummer, although we make exceptions.

• We try to not have the same bands play back to back years in order to bring fresh sounds to the community.

• Rockin' the Park has been funded by business sponsors and by local grantors and charitable organizations.

Happy new year! As we hope for some snow this winter, we're already dreaming about summer concerts in the park... In the mean time, if you're craving music from Rockin' the Park artists, did you know a lot of them have albums out? Over the next few days we'll share tracks by RtP bands, starting way back in 2017 and up. That year indie pop/rock band Epic Season played for us on July 28. Here's their song Ours off the 2014 album New Lands.

Happy New Year from Ashley Jane’s Hootenanny!! I am so proud of our year. In 2023 we played 34 gigs and put out our first album, “Not Too Fast” on all major streaming services as well as printed CDs! I am so grateful for this merry group of hootenanners!!! , , and are just the best bandmates I could have ever asked for. These guys are talented, fun, and always supportive of one another and me. We’ve been playing together since August 21, 2021 and never stopped smiling! And now with the addition of Steve Wright on electric guitar we are having even more fun! We’ve slowed things down for the winter, but we look forward to seeing you at on Saturday January 27th and February 24th from 6-8pm! 🤠🤠🤠

So . . . I am trying something new in the New Year. I am going to DJ a radio show!!! Working on Women Folk Music Experience has brought so much joy and opened my listening world to female musicians from all over the East Coast and beyond. I want to celebrate female artists each week for two hours. We will dive into some history, different genres, and of course listening to great music. I go LIVE Tuesday, January 2nd at 9am!!! YOU can stream anywhere at North Country Community Radio Project. I think it will be a lot of fun and I hope you tune in. xoxo

So many great shows this month at The Loading Dock in Littleton!

Trichomes Rockin’ the park

08/11/2023

Tonight! The Trichomes play the final Rockin' the Park concert of the summer at 7pm. Weather looks great for the evening, if a bit cool (which should keep the bugs down!). Get ready for some "funk fused with psych rock and world music," all the way from the Seacoast. Thanks as always to our sponsors – Town of Lancaster NH's Noyes Fund, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation's Tilltoson Fund, and fiscal sponsor Coös Economic Development Corporation. Note there won't be any food tonight, so eat early or bring a picnic.

1 More week! This Friday, 8/11, the final RtP show of the summer features the The Trichomes, who last rocked the park for us back in 2019. The Trichomes play psychedelic-rock infused funk with world music influences. Over the years the band has toured relentlessly, playing at festivals such as StrangeCreek, Wormtown, Hempstock, Earth Jam, Onion River Music Festival, Nu Muse, Troutstock, and countless venues scattered throughout the Northeast and beyond. They’ve shared the stage with bands such as The Wailers, Melvin Seals and the Jerry Garcia Band, Twiddle, Max Creek, and many more big names in the jam band world. According to Portsmouth’s The Sound, “The Trichomes craft hip-swinging tunes with melodies and harmonies that weave through one another, one riff fading out as another takes its place." They put on high energy, funkadelic shows that get the crowd shaking. The Trichomes released their sophomore album in 2019, the groovy Jazz Cabbage Soirée, and have released a series of singles over the last several years https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Z7aFWvcTx8NhWRUfTInfz. This is one that you don't want to miss!

Happy Friday! So excited for Brothers Grateful and Simple Wheys Farm tonight.

Shout out to our sponsors for making this possible – Town of Lancaster NH's Noyes Fund, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation's Neil and Louise Tillotson fund, and fiscal sponsor Coös Economic Development Corporation.
