The Bridge Street Brass will kick off this summer’s Brown Bag Concert Series with two performances. On Wednesday, July 6th, the band will perform at North Gazebo Park in downtown Ashtabula. The following day, July 7th, the group will appear at the Village Park in Jefferson. All Brown Bag concerts begin at noon and admission is free. Bring a lawn chair or a blanket and pack a picnic lunch to enjoy as you listen to the music.

The Bridge Street Brass is one of Ohio’s finest brass quintets. They perform music from baroque to Broadway. Featured performers are Jerry Benson on trumpet, Gail Collister on french horn, Doug Burdick on trombone, Michelle Falcione on trumpet and Andy Stevenson on tuba.

The rain site for Ashtabula performances is the First Presbyterian Church on Park Ave. The rain site for Jefferson performances will be the United Methodist Church adjacent to the park.
