Wednesday may be hump day in the workaday world, but July Wednesdays on Block Island mean winding down your day with live blues along the beach. Bring a beach chair or blanket and dance the sand off (or simply chill if you’re so inclined) to favorite Block Island and New England musicians.

This year the series of 4 concerts kicks off with local band “The Silks”

The music starts right around 5:30pm—after the lifeguards have left their posts, early enough for young kids to enjoy, and early enough to head out for dinner after.

This year’s dates and lineups are as follows:

July 6th – The Silks

July 20th – Otis and The Hurricanes

August 3rd – F&B Blues Band

August 31st – Neal and The Vipers

Oh, and more good news. Like Block Island sunshine and gentle breezes, Blues on the Block is absolutely free. Just another reason to love this island.
