Recap Downtown Cranford Live Music Thursdays At Eastman Clock

As we gear up for a new season heres what happened ...

2021 Downtown Cranford Lineup Schedule

As you can see there was an extensive and diverse list of music genres and performers for everyone's listening pleasure - some returning favorites and some brand new first timers.

We crossed the spectrum with pop rock, R & B, jazz, country, Latin, cabaret and of course some blues to make you tap your feet, shake your head and dance in your seat. All folks had to do was come on out and have a good time enjoying the sounds of downtown Cranford live music.

All were invited to come on out, enjoy the wonderful live music and enjoy Downtown Cranford stores and restaurants while listening to the Downtown Cranford Summer Sounds Series.

Experience The Summer Sounds and Views

We started in 2020 with a performance by Harmonic Convergence Jazz led by alleycatsax.

Besides the music here's a little more about Cranford to pique your curiosity as you stop in and enjoy this wonderful town.

At this very busy traffic intersection right off the NJ Transit train station there is this idyllic park in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

Inside is this wonderful grassy location along with some natural seating at what's known locally as the Eastman Clock location.

And what's really cool is there is a built-in amphitheater type seating all the way around and out to the grass and the adjacent stores. This is a very cool place to be where you are able to sit, relax and enjoy the summer sounds of live music.

And yes we re looking to come back with more for this year in 2022. So check back soon or drop an email today. https://gregoryburrusproductio...
