Gazebo concerts take a two-week break

There will be no gazebo concert this Thursday, July 12, or next Thursday, July 19, due to two other long-standing Manchester traditions: The Manchester Community Fair (July 10-14) and the Manchester Chicken Broil (July 19).

Both events normally incorporate entertainment at Alumni Field in the evening.

The next concert in the Gazebo series for 2018 will feature Manchester alum Matt Callaway with his Jazz Quartet, on July 26 at 7:30 pm.

Holding a B.M. in Jazz Studies from Wayne State University, Callaway has earned a name for himself as both a session musician and a permanent member of house jazz bands. He has jammed in dozens of genres, including R&B, country, and world music—just to name a few. Callaway’s own band has even opened for a number of nationally acclaimed acts. In addition to playing, touring, and teaching, Callaway has also released three albums of his own.

Enjoy the many options Manchester has to offer in July, and we will see you with three more great concerts on July 26, August 2, and August 9!

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
