Some traditions just get better with age, and welcoming the Bruce Marshall Group back for their 13th appearance on the Common is one of our favorites. Our history with Bruce goes way back—the first time we saw him, he was opening as a solo act for the legendary B.B. King, and the crowd simply didn't want him to leave the stage!

Bruce brings a lifetime of rock-and-roll history to our bandstand. In the late '80s and early '90s, he toured the country with the Toy Caldwell Band, sharing stages with icons like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rick Danko, Charlie Daniels, and The Outlaws. This year, the group is bringing their signature blend of soulful R&B and Southern boogie, with a special treat: woodwind musician John Vanderpool joins the 4-piece band. Fresh off a new recording deal and his 8th CD, Bruce remains a consummate musician whose passion for the craft is palpable. Join us to celebrate over a decade of great music with a true New England legend!

In case of inclement weather, the concert will be held in the Londonderry High School cafeteria.
