Thursdays on the Dock: Java Groove

July 13, 2023 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Thursdays on the Dock
Java Groove
Thursday, July 13, 2023
5:30 – 7:30 pm

Thursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple for 14 years and is still the destination for waterfront music. Each Thursday evening in July and August from 5:30-7:30, bring a chair or blanket, listen to a free concert, and watch the sun go down over the river.

Our presenting sponsor Prive Swiss Wellness is always on hand offering free massages and giveaways.

From swing to Sinatra to Sting, Java Groove is a small 4 piece band with a big sound. It all started in 2015 by the founding members of the swing band, The Shiny Lapel Trio. When people ask what kind of music you play, we tell them, jazzy, swingy, ballady, kinda stuff. The idea behind Java Groove is to have a stripped down swing band with the same effect and vibe of a horn section.

The band consists of Dan Bernier on vocals and guitar, James Alio on guitar, Marc Iacobellis on bass guitar and Todd Fitting on drums. Todd, James and Marc all went to middle school and high school together in Guilford, playing in various bands together. Dan was one of the founding members of The Zingerz, also playing swing music on the shoreline area.

In case of inclement weather, please check our site. All updates will be shown there.

We pass a hat!
These events are free; we pass a hat to enable us to continue the tradition.

Cash bar. Please no BYOB.
Beer and wine are available for purchase. Porky Pete’s is onsite and has options for dinner or snacks.

Want to get out on the water?
Take a sunset cruise aboard the Onrust. Departing from Steamboat Dock, the cruise is a great way to experience New England’s Great River. Bring a picnic supper.
