Summer Concerts Start in Westwood Thursday

Westwood's annual summer concert series starts in the Veterans' Memorial Park bandstand this week.

The borough will host a variety of musical performers including: oldies band Reminisce June 27, banjo group Ragtimers July 3, R&B band Soul Finger Live July 11, Billy Joel cover group Danny V & the 52nd St. Band July 18 and Bruce Sprinsteen cover band Tramps Like Us July 25. The concerts all start at 8 p.m.

The Westwood Community Band will perform in the bandstand at 8 p.m. June 28 and every Friday in July. They will also play a Sunday afternoon concert September 1 at 3 p.m. The band breaks out into different ensembles for their different performances, playing "light classics, showtunes, big band marches and patriotic selections," so it's a different show each time.
