The City of Medford’s Condon Shell Summer Concert series continues with the Boston Music Award winners The Blue Ribbons. The band was formed by singer/songwriter/keyboardist James Rohr. They have been building a base of devoted fans with their original and soulful music. Described as “Ray Charles and Tom Waits on a pirate ship with Sun Ra and Captain Beefheart,” they combine “upbeat disillusionment and celebratory fatalism with musicianship,” wrote Charan Devereux in The Boston Globe.

Bring a chair or blanket and a picnic, or stop by the adjacent Medford Farmers Market to grab some food.
