Connecticut’s Hardwood music group has been sharing classic rock and new music with Southern New England audiences for a half-century, in both electric and acoustic formats. They’ve been monthly mainstays at Coventry’s historic Bidwell Tavern for three decades, featuring four veterans who share vocals and multiple instruments. Hardwood’s all-original CD and tour history represent the breadth of Americana music tradition, and will bring back your best memories at the Old State House this summer.
