The City of Medford begins its free Condon Shell Summer Concert series with a performance by the Baker Thomas Band. BTB is fronted by Tom Bianchi, who is a leader in the Boston music scene (he books the Burren ackroom as well as other venues). The band is fun, upbeat, and perfect for summer music! Bring a chair or blanket and a picnic, or stop by the Medford Farmers Market to grab some food. Medford Brewing Company will be on hand operating a beer garden.

Other concerts in the Thursday evening series will feature the Grammy-nominated Debo Ray on August 1, the Cheryl Arena Band on August 29, and Say Darling on September 12 (rescheduled from its original date of June 20 due to weather).
