Milford Arts Council Announces New Series: “MAC IN THE PARK"

Milford Arts Council, the MAC announces an exciting new music and arts series called "MAC In The Park." A new stage at Eisenhower Park, 780 North Street in Milford CT, will be the backdrop for the sounds of soul, smooth jazz, reggae, and blues music as well as theatre and other arts genres.

The lineup for MAC IN THE PARK includes hometown favorite, Jay Rowe and his band on July 17, Mystic Bowie’s Talking Dreads on August 7, and The Talbott Brothers on September 18 as well as an outdoor reprise of Eastbound Theatre’s Our Town by Thornton Wilder in October.

Alexis P. Suter will open the new series on Saturday, June 26th at 8pm. Alexis is the owner of that big, booming voice you can hear roaring out of Brooklyn into the heart of North America and beyond. Alexis P. and her band continue to captivate audiences from town to town. Miss Suter and her powerful and unique ensemble artfully blend the lines between Blues, Soul, Roots and Rock music.

Alexis' voice ranges from a pained passion to explosive and soul bearing. Suter and her band have been blazing trails and taking their music to festivals and venues both nationally and internationally. At the highly prestigious Blues Music Awards, Alexis was nominated for Best Contemporary Female Artist in 2017, The Koko Taylor Vocalist in 2015 and for Best Soul/Blues Female Vocalist in 2013. When the great Bluesman B.B. King first heard Alexis sing, he was visibly impressed and remarked…. It’s a rare thing to share the stage with great talent like that young lady.

Paige Miglio shares her enthusiasm about this new program stating, “This dream has been in the works for a long time. Our events were selling out, so the only way to be able to share the Arts and make them more accessible was to expand outside of our walls. The pandemic accelerated our timeline, and it’s the best serendipity we could have imagined. The City has always been so supportive of the arts, and they have been very helpful in this venture as well. We are also so appreciative of our sponsor, Trinity Point Wealth for helping to make this dream a reality.”

MAC Members will receive MEMBER ONLY PRE SALE ALERTS for this series during the month of May. Anyone can become a MAC Member for a little as $50 to receive alerts and other perks at milfordarts.org
