Jam Out This Summer At Huffnagle Park

Quarryville Lions Club has announced that the Huffnagle Park Concert Series will return this summer. At 7 p.m. on the second Saturday of each month from June to September, different bands will perform live at Huffnagle Park, 20 Oak Lane, Quarryville.

The performers will be Flipside Big Band on June 12, Summit Hill Bluegrass on July 10, Seasons Celtic Band on Aug. 14, and Ryan Mayersky on Sept. 11.

The Flipside Big Band is directed by Howard Boots, and the guest vocalist will be Erin Biles, vocal music teacher at Solanco High School. The trumpet solo on "Bye Bye Blackbird" will be performed by Gary Doll, retired instrumental music teacher at Solanco High School.

Summit Hill Bluegrass is from southeastern Pennsylvania. The band plays bluegrass, gospel, and a variety of other genres.

Seasons Celtic Band is comprised of siblings Mary-Kate Spring, Peter Winter, Mary-Teresa Summer, Mary-Grace Autumn, and Mary-Clare Chun Lee. These siblings create a fusion of Celtic and roots music on harp, hammered dulcimer, mandolin, fiddle, and more. The award-winning band has been featured on both national radio and television, and it has recorded six albums. Two of the members have competed in the All-Ireland musician competitions on their respective instruments, and the band performs frequently in concert series and at music festivals such as Celtic Fling, the Kutztown Folk Festival, and Music on the Mountain.

Mayersky is a country artist from Lancaster. He began singing and playing guitar in 2002 and was the lead guitarist and vocalist for the bands Dorcas and To Begin Amor. To Begin Amor performed regularly at the Chameleon Club and Club 19, opening for local and major label bands.

Attendees may bring lawn chairs and blankets and should maintain social distance when finding places to sit. The series is sponsored by the Quarryville Lions Club, and admission will be free of charge. Donations will be accepted.

"I'm most excited to be able to have a more normal summer this year and to give people a reason to come out and be social," said concert series organizer Monica Wagner. This will be Wagner's sixth year organizing the Huffnagle Park Concert Series.

No rain location will be offered this year, so interested individuals should visit the "Huffnagle Park Concert Series" Facebook page to check for updates in the event of inclement weather.
