Jul 12, 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.

Arts in the Park

Saturday, September 23
5:00-6:30 pm
Glen Providence Park Stage, State Street, Media
Rain date: Sunday, September 24

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 known to be exciting and spontaneous, with Gaines letting fans influence the songs he performs.

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. As with all of our events, this performance is free, family-friendly, and open to the public.

*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.

Thank you:
