[CANCELLED] Outdoor Fall Concert Series Coming To Red Bank

RED BANK, NJ - The Red Bank RiverCenter has announced a brand-new outdoor concert series at Riverside Gardens Park, according to its website. The early fall bandshell is slated to take advantage of the last few weeks of temperate weather before the colder months set in.

Sept. 26 will feature Almost U2 at 11 a.m., followed by Decade: A Neil Young Tribute at 2 p.m. and Linda Ronstadt tribute Heat Wave at 5 p.m. A rain date is scheduled for Sept. 27.

The next date for the series, Oct. 3, will see Haven with special guest Carl Gentry at 11 a.m., the Weeklings (featuring the music of the Beatles) at 2 p.m. and the Nerds at 5 p.m. A rain date is scheduled for Oct. 4.

Tickets for each show are available here.

“In creating the Riverside Music Sessions, RiverCenter plans to reintroduce live music in the parks in a socially-distant and safe environment,” RiverCenter Executive Director Laura Kirkpatrick said in a statement. “We are working with the Borough of Red Bank and our event producer, Rue Events, to be in compliance with all current state and local guidelines now and on event day.”

Face coverings are required by concert goers throughout the park, unless they are sitting, eating or drinking. Chairs will be provided by the venue and will be sanitized between sessions. No outside food, beverage or seating will be allowed.

Tickets will be sold in blocks of four to accommodate those sitting with family or friends. Each group will be spaced eight feet apart and seats cannot be moved.

Attendees will receive a goodie bag with snacks and a list of food establishments offering discounts during the event, according to a news release.

“RiverCenter is excited to have this opportunity to welcome more people back to Red Bank and to demonstrate our responsiveness to their desire to be entertained while still feeling safe,” Stephen Catania, RiverCenter Chairman and owner of the Cheese Cave said.

“We are equally thrilled to be giving some great artists an opportunity to get back to playing in front of a live audience and earn some money.”
