RESCHEDULED: Arts in the Park: Jeffrey Gaines!

May 1, 2017 by Stephanie

Closing out our free and family-friendly 2017 Arts in the Park, Friends of Glen Providence Park is delighted to announce a rescheduled* date for Jeffrey Gaines!  Raised in Harrisburg, PA, this singer-songwriter has been heralded for his soul-searching lyrics and his powerful live performances. With only his voice and a guitar for accompaniment, Jeffrey Gaines has earned a reputation as a captivating performer, entertaining audiences everywhere he goes. 

The Philadelphia Inquirer described Gaines as “an ethereal soul… insistent, impassioned, full of self-knowledge.” The Boston Globe declared that “Gaines’ soulful, wounded vocals make a case for his being one of pop’s finest singers…” His concerts are exciting and spontaneous, with Gaines letting fans influence the songs he performs.

Rain date Sunday, September 24
Free, family-friendly & open to the public

Bring a blanket or chair, and relax on the lawn by the historical stage for an early evening concert. After the performance, head into Media for dinner and shopping, just 2 blocks away on State Street.

Thank you to our concert sponsors Media Recreation Board and West End Walk; and to Delaware County Parks & Recreation for making our concerts possible. 

This summer’s Arts in the Park was made possible by funding from Project Stream, a grant initiative of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts that is regionally administered by the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance. Additional support for Project Stream is provided by PECO.

*The concert, originally scheduled for August 12, was canceled for unforeseen circumstances – we are happy to have been able to reschedule it for this September.
