Westfield/Mountainside, NJ – The Union County Summer Arts Festival concert series continues on Wednesday, August 16, with a performance by The Nerds, the popular Jersey cover band that entertains music lovers from Cape May to Carnegie Hall. The Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, led by Chairman Alexander Mirabella, invites the public to attend this free concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in Echo Lake Park.
The Nerds were formed in 1985 by four Jersey guys with a flair for Bermuda shorts, polyester shirts and catchy tunes that energized beach parties and late night TV for decades. Wherever they play – from Ship Bottom and Point Pleasant to convention halls and casinos – The Nerds combine their enthusiasm for music with their inventive renditions of hit tunes to keep their audiences dancing and singing along. This triumphant return of The Nerds to Echo Lake Park is sponsored by the Union County Democratic Committee.
Freeholder Chairman Mirabella urges you to “bring the entire family, pack a picnic basket, bring lawn chairs or blankets to sit on, and enjoy an evening of fun and energetic rock and roll in Echo Lake Park.” The Union County Information Van also will be at the concert site, with representatives from the Division of Environmental Health and Emergency Management on hand to answer questions and offer information about public health issues, recycling, and important services available to Union County residents.
The other free concerts in the Summer Arts Festival series include:
August 23 – Ed Palermo Big Band with Rob Paparozzi, sponsored by Schering-Plough Corp.;
August 30 – The Party Dolls, sponsored by ConocoPhillips-Bayway Refinery.
In case of rain, concerts will be held at the air-conditioned auditorium at Cranford High School, on West End Place off Springfield Avenue in Cranford at 7:30 p.m. For up-to-date concert/rain information call the Parks and Recreation hot-line at (908) 352-8410 after 3:00 p.m. on the day of the concert.
