The Birds of Chicago Fly Back to CHIRP in Ridgefield

RIDGEFIELD, CT -- Concert Happenings in Ridgefield Parks (CHIRP) is welcoming The Birds of Chicago to Ballard Park on Thursday, July 12 at 7 p.m. The group returns for their third consecutive year in the concert series.

The duo delivers echoes of mountain gospel, doo wop and classic soul with back porch instrumentation. The band draws heavily on the gospel tradition and the music feels like a new, secular gospel of sorts. For Birds of Chicago, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting, no filler.

In the event of rain, the concert will be held at the Ridgefield Playhouse.

CHIRP is a series of free Tuesday and Thursday night summer concerts in Ballard Park located in the heart of Ridgefield. It also sponsors the U.S. Military Band concerts held several times a year at the high school auditorium. CHIRP is totally funded by individual and foundation donations as well as contributions from local businesses.
