Setting the Stage for Fall at The Shops at Nanuet

While fall is quickly approaching and students are heading back to school, The Shops at Nanuet is preserving summer with outdoor, musical entertainment through October 1. The Summer Concert Series, sponsored by Fairway Market in association with Tiara Jewelers, Nyack Hospital and The Journal News, presents free, live performances every Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

“After a successful few months, we are thrilled to continue the Summer Concert Series as Fairway Market sponsors the event for the second year at The Shops at Nanuet,” commented Briana Puncar, director of mall marketing and business development for The Shops at Nanuet. “We are keeping the momentum going with terrific bands and retailer hosted events and samples under beautiful night skies. We’ve had a great gathering of music lovers of all ages this summer and look forward to welcoming familiar and new faces in the final weeks of the Summer Concert Series.”

The Summer Concert Series at The Shops at Nanuet is free entertainment, open to the public and takes place on Fashion Drive, which will be closed to vehicular traffic between Kay Jewelers and the plaza.

To make it a great experience, the following Insider Tips will help concert goers during visits:

1. Seating is limited so event attendees are encouraged to bring their own folding chairs.
2. While Fashion Drive is closed, it is recommended that guests park in the back of the property and use the escalator by Regal Cinemas to access shops and the concert area.
3. Guests can arrive early, stay late and take advantage of an array of special food sampling by the center’s restaurants and eateries, which will vary each week.
   
4. Retailers lululemon athletica and 24 Hour Fitness will host outdoor exercise classes each week just prior to the start of the concerts, from 5 to 6 p.m.

The Summer Concert Series will include performances from the following bands:

• September 3 – Tequila Muscle Blues Band (TMBB), formerly known as Rantin’ and Ravin’, plays an energetic and contemporary sounding mix of Soul, R&B, and Blues. Growing out of the active tri-state area band and jam session scene, this six piece group puts a funky twist on classic material drawing from the great repertoires of Sam & Dave, Etta James, Stevie Ray Vaughn and many others.
• September 10 – The Temple Dudes: Based out of New City, New York, The Temple Dudes perform a wide assortment of semi-acoustic and electric Classic Rock and Folk music. Cover songs range from artists such as John Lennon, The Beatles and James Taylor to Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin.
