***CANCELED*** PaviElle w/ Maria and the Coins - forWARD Neighborhood Park Concert Series

 Current_oval 2020
 
WEATHER UPDATE - 1:30 PM - This event has been canceled due to the threat of severe weather. 
 
forWARD Neighborhood Park Concert Series - 2022 | Judd Park | Week #5 | Admission is FREE! | Sponsored by Mayo Clinic & The Current | Hosted by 2nd Ward City Council Person Mark Bransford | Food trucks (Jersey Jo's Philly Cheesesteaks and More, Minne’SNO’da Shave Ice, & Taco Lab) and face paint artist Sheila Smith will be on-site!
Maria and the Coins (5:30 PM) - Maria and the Coins bundle big-picture pop ambition into earnest, indie sensibility. The five-some distinguished themselves in the Minneapolis alt-rock scene by fusing singer-songwriter driven pop hooks with the vulnerability and honesty of an indie band. Frontwoman Maria Coyne's powerhouse vocals are matched with emotive storytelling often focused on finding the light amidst the chaos. While the writing features nods to Coyne’s pop, country and musical theatre roots, the music finds its sweet spot behind alternative rock-influenced arrangements.


PAVIELLE (6:30 PM) - PaviElle is an amazing interdisciplinary artist, composer and vocalist with a dynamic 6-piece band. Her sound often has the faint flavor of Sly and the Family Stone, drawing on the influences of Jose James, and Rufus, with the soulful feel of Bill Withers. While the sound the group captures was vintage, PaviElle brings her own personal style and passionate energy to her singing, making for a fresh sound that’s uniquely her own. She says she always has a way she wants her songs to “swing,” and it’s this free-style emotion, in the scatting and vocalizing, that brings a millennial’s heart-born, contemporary vision to a classic soul music sound.  


The City of Rochester, Rochester Civic Music, and Rochester Park & Rec present the forWARD Neighborhood Park Concert Series. Six free events in six parks, one for each ward in the City, on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer, featuring local bands opening for regional, national, or international headliners. Promoting neighborhood vitality and livability, emphasizing activities outside the downtown area. Designed to activate the City park system, and raise awareness of the City ward system and each ward’s representative on the City Council. Food trucks will be on-site for each event! Sponsored by Mayo Clinic & The Current

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support Grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
