Cape Vincent: July 18 Concert on the Green

Foolish Pride Brings Jam-Band Rock-n-Roll to
Cape Vincent’s July 18 Concert on the Green

Rock in an Allman Brothers vein will be featured as Potsdam’s Foolish Pride takes the stage at the next Concert on the Green in Cape Vincent on Saturday, July 18 from 4:00-5:30 p.m. Presented by the Cape Vincent Arts Council, the free concert takes place on the Cape Vincent Village Green, 357 Broadway St. along the St. Lawrence River, within walking distance of shops and cafes in downtown Cape Vincent. (Rain location is the Cape Vincent Fire Hall, 241 Broadway St.)

Audience members should bring a lawn chair or blanket. Donations are welcome and will help support CVAC's free downtown music events. For more information, visit capevincentartscouncil.org or their Facebook page.

Following in the tradition of the raucous, overdriven tones of classic rock, scorching and soulful blues, and improvisational soundscapes, Foolish Pride serves up an eclectic blend of covers and original music that runs from the Allman Brothers Band to Zeppelin. Taking their name from a lyric in Derek & The Dominoes' “Layla,” Foolish Pride's dual-guitar lineup, including masterful slide playing, echoes that of the classic blues-based rock bands of the '70s. The Potsdam-based group is comprised of Trevor Blank (vocals/guitar), Ben Lacy (guitar/vocals), Carter Jones (bass/ backing vocals), Joey Thomas (keys), and Sean Tierson (drums).

This year's Concerts on the Green, all of which begin at 4:00 p.m., will also include: 

August 1 - Tas Cru Band, soulful blues and Americana from Chaumont's own international touring musician and his band of seasoned players.

August 8 – KEX, popular Watertown band playing an upbeat mix of rock, jazz, and pop in the style of Chicago.

August 15 - Knotty Paddy, high-energy Celtic rock band from the Adirondacks.
