As an added treat, Julie will perform with her husband, Woody Woodward, on bass.

You can catch her locally at The Grog in Newburyport, where she sings, plays and runs and Open Mike, as well.

August 18 Tome Eaton & Pick 3 http://www.pick3.org

If you love Bluegrass, country, blues and Celtic music, then don't miss Tom Eaton and Pick 3 - a lively group of acoustic "pickers" and singers. This quartet of musicians includes Tom Eaton (guitar and vocals), Pat Conlon (mandolin, harmonica and vocals), Nick Aparo (bass and vocals) and Dana King (banjo and vocals). The members share their love for American roots music with audiences as close as Cape ann to New York to the Rocky Mountain region, as well as throughout Europe and the Caribbean.

August 25 Chris Richard  
This will be Newburyport firefighter Chris Richard's sixth year performing at the Moseley Woods Summer Concert Series. The popular, self-taught guitar player's acoustic rock is popular with all ages and Chris has said that he enjoys playing in the park as a way to bring the community together. His concerts usually include a fund-raiser for a special cause, so come to the concert and help out a worthy charity at the same time.

Summer Concert Series 2011 is sponsored by the Newburyport Five Cents Savings Bank.
