BATH — Chocolate Church Arts Center will produce a fresh air series of concerts along the Kennebec River. The Summer Saturday Waterfront Concert Series will begin on Saturday, July 11, and continue through Aug. 29. For eight consecutive Saturdays at 6 p.m., the waterfront will showcase a variety of musical acts, each with their own unique style.

“This series is designed to entertain people of all ages. Each week music lovers should come and enjoy their Saturday evenings in the city of Bath,” said Greg Plourde, producer of the concert series.

The Chocolate Church Arts Center, in cooperation with the city of Bath, presents the Summer Saturday Waterfront Concert Series as a destination event attracting visitors for dinner and to explore local stores.

According to Plourde, the concerts are offered at no cost due to sponsorship. The series will begin with Cindy Alexander, who has been making music for over 15 years. With an undeniable stage presence backed by masterful and infectious songwriting, Alexander has toured all over the world with acts like The Bangles, Rick Springfield and Joe Bonamassa.

The line-up includes Cindy Alexander, July 11; Shy Green, July 18; Snappdraggon, July 25; Lauren Crosby Band, Aug. 1; Rick Turcotte and the Rick Oshays, Aug. 8; Jen Chapin Trio, Aug. 15; Love to Burn, Aug. 22; and the series concludes with String Tide on Aug. 29.

Although the Chocolate Church typically presents programs from the 1847 re-purposed church, this is the second off-site concert series. Founded in 1977, CCAC is dedicated to providing the best in music, dance, theater and visual arts to the region. The full roster of concerts is available on www.chocolatechurcharts.org.
