Their performances are truly a shared experience as they engage audiences of all ages in singing and clapping.

The concert series continues July 2 with The Modern Riffs, a Connecticut-based group that showcases a unique, high-energy blend of experienced musicians and exceptionally talented young people. Performances are tailored to deliver the right combination of Jazz, Classic Rock, and Swing that bests suits each individual audience.
