Free Alt-Folk Music Coming to Horn Pond Friday, July 25

On Friday, July 11, SCI Social Capital Inc.’s Horn Pond Summer Concert Series kicked off with Renee and the Renegades (https://renee.fyi/), who brought lively country music to Horn Pond. Over 150 community members of all ages enjoyed the beautiful weather, refreshments provided by Empower Cafes Woburn (https://empowercafes.com), and activities such as SCI’s Social Connection Bingo. Each bingo card featured icebreaker questions to facilitate conversations with neighbors, and completed bingo cards served as a raffle ticket. Three lucky raffle winners went home with either a t-shirt from the band, an SCI backpack, and a paddle & ball set!

Woburn local Renee Leavitt and her bandmates crafted the perfect blend of stage presence, instrumental expertise, and crowd interaction to create an enjoyable experience for all. This event was sponsored by Winchester Savings Bank’s Woburn Horn Pond Branch (https://www.winchestersavings.com/).

The next SCI Horn Pond Summer Concert is Friday, July 25. Performing is Everly Estelle (Instagram: @everlyestellemusic), an alt-folk singer-songwriter out of Lowell, MA, serving up ‘90s and 2000s nostalgia with the help of her talented band. This event is sponsored by Lamacchia Realty.

The concert series concludes on August 15 with J-Renee (https://www.jordanrbrown.com), who will bring the sounds of alternative R&B, neo-soul, and experimental pop. Reading Cooperative Bank is a sponsor of this event. Additional sponsorship for this event is available. Contact David Crowley at dcrowley@socialcapitalinc.org to learn more.

All concerts are FREE to the public. The concerts are held 6-8PM at Ice House Park, the grassy area alongside the Sturgis St. end of Horn Pond.
