Drive-In Live, New England’s largest live music series in the unusual 2020 concert season, will be welcoming The Ghost of Paul Revere to its stage on Friday, July 17 at 8 p.m.
Having previously performed alongside The Avett Brothers, Jason Isbell, The Revivalists, Bela Fleck, and The Infamous Stringdusters, the group has mastered a distinct blend of folk, bluegrass, rock, and alternative to shape their sound since forming in 2011. Most recently they released a new single and accompanying video, “Love At Your Convenience,” which premiered on American Songwriter last week.
Audience members can expect a full concert experience at Drive-In Live with festival sound, lights, video, and of course safe protocols in the age of social distancing. Drive-In Live will take place every Friday and Saturday from July 10 to Oct. 10 in the south parking lot of the Cheshire Fairgrounds in Swanzey, adhering to the state guidelines for drive-in movie theaters. Social distance drive-in theater guidelines set by the State of NH will be enforced.
Attendees purchase one ticket per mid-sized vehicle. Cars will have 10 feet of space between them and will be parked in a staggered fashion for un-obstructed sightlines. Attendees will be able to bring lawn chairs and sit in the empty spot to the left of their vehicle.
More shows will be announced every week, with two shows for NH’s own Recycled Percussion announced for Aug. 1 last week, and the promise of some big names on the national scene. The full series is as follows:
