Thursday August 21
5pm-8pm

“With a diverse range of instruments including banjo, fiddle and mandolin, Sour Bridges infuse their music with a sense of nostalgia and toe-tapping rhythm. Known for their signature “browngrass” blend of country, rock and bluegrass” this group includes Bill Pucci, Will Vaughn, Marc Henry, Ileana Nikitakis and Matt Pucci. "Lovely harmonies…their ingredients blend into a stew of just plain out good music” – Americana Highways
This is their first time visit to 3rd Thursdays and we can’t wait! 'Browngrass, it's like bluegrass... just a lil dirtier'!

• To our four-legged friends and their families: While we appreciate all the doggies that have enjoyed time at 3rd Thursdays, we are requesting that they PLEASE stay at home again this season! The Park has become too crowded to include everyone’s pets and we’ve had a few unfortunate incidents involving dogs, kids, crowds and noise. Thank you for understanding and making the evening fun and safe for everyone.
• Please honor the main entrance and exit on Market - folks tearing down fences and barriers to enter or leave from other areas causes issues with our permits and head counts - thank you!
• Keep the party going in Cortez after 3rd Thursdays ends with our friends at ZU Gallery - dance and enjoy at the Art of the After Party w/DJ P.A.: facebook.com/share/16ZyJZFH7t/
Watch for a friendly "ZU Animal" at the Park for Free Drink Tokens!
