LACONIA — Tall Granite Big Band will be the featured performer for the Belknap Mill’s 2021 Arts in the Park Summer Concert Series in Rotary Riverside Park on Friday, June 18 at 6 p.m.

Patrons are welcome to bring lawn chairs, a blanket, and a picnic dinner for a evening of live music at the Belknap Mill.

Based in Concord, the Tall Granite Big Band is a 19-piece big band formed in 2014 from a select cadre of New Hampshire community musicians. Under the oversight of Music Director Joey Placenti, a veteran of Navy show bands, we are dedicated to keeping alive a broad repertoire of classic and contemporary arrangements and compositions, with an emphasis on Swing. In five years of regular appearances at the former Pitman’s Freight Room, we were pleased to become known as a dance band and still cherish our links to the state’s dance community.

The Belknap Mill’s 2021 Summer Concert Series is generously sponsored by founding sponsors The Laconia Putnam Fund and media sponsors, Lakes FM 101.5, 104.9 The Hawk, and 107.3 The Pulse. For more information about upcoming performances or our safety guidelines, visit: www.belknapmill.org.
