Dunkirk’s Music on the Pier Summer Concert Series will continue today as opener OsbornNash at 5:25 p.m. and headliner Tim Britt Band at 7 p.m. take the stage for Country Night at Memorial Park.
Sponsored by Community Bank and The Resource Center, the concerts are presented by DFT Communications with stage sponsor National Grid and production company Advanced Production Group (APG).
The Tim Britt Band is a modern/alternative/folk group from Buffalo, NY. Singer, guitarist, songwriter, and Utica, NY native Tim Britt, formed the group in 2015 as an expansion of his awardwinning solo career.
Joined by seasoned Buffalo musicians, Gerald Michael, Evan Laedke, and Damone Jackson, the group uniquely blends their experience in blues, new wave, funk, disco, soul, and pop with Britt’s already established style, to create new takes on classic songs and wonderfully catchy originals.
OsbornNash, made up of Bob Campbell-Nash and Liz Osborn, is an acoustic duo out of Western New York and Nashville, Tenn. Their performances feature original and cover material and have become an entertaining on-going conversation between themselves and their audience.
As singer-songwriter “artists” they incorporate country, Americana, folk and pop with overtures of jazz and rock when it suits the song. Their original music has taken them to Nashville where they recorded their debut album “This Is It.”
Previously, they have opened shows for Wynonna Judd and The Big Noise, Billy Currington, Easton Corbin and Craig Morgan.
More recently, they were voted the WYRK Taste of Country Riser in 2022 and were given the opportunity to open for Tim McGraw along with Billy Currington, Walker Hayes & Thompson Square (June 2022) at the Taste of Country Concert – Sahlen Field, Buffalo, NY. OsbornNash was also requested for and successfully opened concerts for Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts (August 2022) at Spiedie Fest – Binghamton, NY and one week later they shared the stage opening for Blake Shelton at the Darien Lake Amphitheater – Darien, NY. Food and other vendors will be on site along with the city’s beverage tent.
The Dunkirk Boardwalk Marketplace and surrounding businesses will also be open. Guests are reminded to bring a chair.
