Join Dog Mountain for a series of free outdoor concerts this summer!
The Levitt AMP St. Johnsbury Music Series will take place at Dog Mountain every Sunday from 4-7pm, July 9th through September 17th, and will feature a diverse lineup of musicians from all over the country.
The free concerts are open to all ages, and dogs are welcome. There will be a variety of food vendors and a beer tent on-site. Pack up your pals (both two and four-legged) and join us for some musical fun! •
St. Johnsbury’s own Ana D’Leon will open for the Seratones of Shreveport, Louisiana, on July 30th. The Seratones’ Southern garage rock sound is a product of Shreveport’s unique and fertile sonic landscape, where Memphis soul, Mississippi Delta blues, New Orleans jazz, and Texas swing all meet. NPR praised singer AJ Haynes’s Baptist Church-grown voice, and calls the Seratones’ sound “lean and compact, with an impressive assortment of anthemic stompers.”
