TOWN OF DICKINSON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Music lovers are invited to once again enjoy some free music in the park this summer, while also supporting an important cause. Broome County Parks and Rec held a news conference at the band shell at Otsiningo Park Monday morning to announce the lineup for the 10th year of Broome Bands Together. The free concert series takes place every Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. throughout the summer. Audience members are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket as well as a non-perishable food item to donate to CHOW. Local law firm Coughlin and Gerhart has sponsored the event from the beginning. 'I think this is a good example of how it's possible to bring good things to the community in both the public sector and the private sector,' said Managing Partner Rachel Abbott. Tuesday's opening band is the Shambles, featuring Coughlin and Gerhart attorney Mark Gorgos on drums. The following two acts will be The Yada Yadas on June 10th and Caviar and Grits on the 17th.
