ROCHESTER - A favorite regional duo of Blues musicians, “Poor Howard and Bullfrog Rogers” will be the feature at the Friday Factory Court Brown Bag Concert in the heart of downtown Rochester.

Concertgoers are asked to “bring a chair and buy or bring a lunch” to enjoy a musical performance in the heart of downtown Rochester. Canopies are erected among the flowers in this paved courtyard to provide shade for the concert attendees.  “Just By Chance” is a duo featuring regional blues musicians Howard Stith and Mike “Bullfrog” Rogers. They were also featured at this year’s Rochester Blues /BBQ Festival.

In case of inclement weather the concerts are canceled. Free parking nearby is available at the City Hall, Union, and Congress Street Parking lots. For more information please contact the Rochester Main Street office by calling 603-330-3208 or email director@rochestermainstreet.org. Coming up on Friday, August 22 will be our own local jazz vocalist Linda Pouliot.   

The concerts are sponsored by Citizen’s Bank and a grant from the N.H. State Council On The Arts. The concerts are held on Fridays through August 29, from 11:45 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.
