NJBG’s annual Summer Concert Series at the New Jersey State Botanical Garden in Ringwood continues on August 6 with a performance by the Homegrown String Band. Grab a lawn chair or blanket and come enjoy a wide range of musical talent in these magnificent and beautiful surroundings.

Light refreshments are available for purchase or you can bring your own, but no alcohol or pets, please (State Park rule). If the weather is bad, the concerts are moved indoors into the Carriage House Visitor Center. All concerts begin at 7:00 pm. NJBG requests a $3 per person donation.

Take a rollicking ride through the sounds of American music with this talented family of musicians, returning once again to the NJBG stage. The band’s repertoire includes unique interpretations of traditional music, including blues, ballads and fiddle tunes. You’ll be treated to the toe-tapping sounds of guitar, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica and mountain dulcimer as well as a demonstration of Appalachian flat-foot dancing. (www.homegrownstringband.com ).

This concert is sponsored by R & D Insurance, Teaneck. Other upcoming concerts in the series are:  August 20 - Terence Martin A tip of the hat to our folk-music roots. Singer/songwriter/poet Terence Martin’s songs flow with hauntingly poetic images and elements of folk, blues, and country. His musical background includes work as a double bassist in the Burbank Symphony and in several touring rock bands. Also a published poet, Terence brings his insightful songwriting and performance to a new level. (www.martinsongs.com ). Sponsored by Liberty Subaru / Liberty Hyundai, Emerson and Mahwah.

August 27- Red Molly This wonderful group is a little bit country, a little bit folk, a touch New Age, and all talent! Red Molly is made up of Laurie (vocals, guitar, banjo), Abbie (vocals, dobro, guitar) and Carolann (vocals, guitar, bass, mandolin), who’ll offer you an evening of lilting three-part harmony on songs by contemporary writers, bluegrass standards, old-time southern gospel, and classic American tunes.
