Berklee Summer Concerts at Georges Island

Berklee College of Music,
Boston Harbor Island Alliance, and the Boston Harbor National Park join forces
to bring up-and-coming Berklee students and alumni to Fort Warren on Georges
Island for free live performances of pop, R&B, bluegrass, roots, folk,
Latin, and more. All that's needed to enjoy an afternoon of music is a
ferry ticket. The concerts – Saturdays July 12 and 26,
and August 9, 23, and 30 – are part of Berklee Summer in the City
presented by Natixis Global Asset Management. 

Berklee’s Summer Concerts
at Georges Island are accessible by ferry from Boston’s Long Wharf North, next
to Christopher Columbus Park (MBTA Blue Line to Aquarium Station, Green or
Orange Lines to Haymarket Station). Ferry tickets can be purchased at the
Boston Harbor Islands Pavilion on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. For more

Saturday, August 23

1:00 pm – Bailey Taylor honed her sound – a pure voice
combined with banjo-style fingerpicked guitar – writing and performing in the
Twin Cites before coming to Berklee. Her passion is music’s role in
cross-cultural communication and much of her songwriting focuses on social change.

2:00 pm – The
Georgia English Band tell stories of youth, discovery, and
vulnerability. English used pop, soul, folk, and jazz to explore everyday
themes on her 2012 all-original album In the Fog. She also received
Berklee’s Songwriting Achievement Award and a SESAC Award.

3:00 pm – Wambura
Mitaru’s music blends funk, soul, R&B, jazz, and hip-hop as well
as sounds from her African background. A young, passionate singer and
songwriter from Nairobi, she attended the Kenya Conservatoire of Music before
enrolling at Berklee on a full scholarship.
