Third Thursday’s Drawn Together: A Downtown Art Walk

Third Thursday Concert Series @ Winter Garden Plaza
313 N Main St – 6 to 9 pm.
On this evening, the sounds of power pop music will float throughout downtown Jamestown. Buffalo’s Letter to Elise songs are characterized by catchy hooks, dynamic pop-rock sensibility, intricate guitar work, and being one of the first bands in the last decade to feature an electric cello, indie-rock group. Letter to Elise is proving itself to be one of the hottest new acts coming out of the Western New York area. Also from Buffalo, Karma Queen plays tunes that would make Sheryl Crow and Jenny Lewis so proud. Their acoustic rock-based songs are the perfect soundtrack to summer. A growing presence in the music scene, Warren, PA’s Kallie Williams will play a ukulele-infused tweener set.

A celebratory funk and reggae party in Winter Garden Plaza will be the perfect way to close out the 2024 Third Thursday Series.
