DOYLESTOWN, PA — Philadelphia singer/songwriter Sug Daniels will open a month-long series of free outdoor concerts at Doylestown's Broad Commons Park on Thursday, May 7.
"Concerts At The Commons," a partnership between Doylestown Borough and Stage United, will bring four free outdoor concerts to the commons every Thursday evening in May. The venue opens at 6 p.m. with the music starting at 6:50 p.m.
"As a lifelong Bucks County resident, it is an honor to produce Concerts at the Commons alongside Doylestown Borough,” said Stage United producer Joe Montone. “We are so excited to feature four nights of live music for all ages with a dynamic palate of sounds each night."
Since its founding in 2024, Stage United has impacted the region’s live music ecosystem by creating a fundraising model to produce both intimate performances and large-scale community concerts in Bucks County.
Opening the series on Thursday will be acclaimed songwriter Sug Daniels. According to Stage United, "The Philadelphia native thoughtfully combines elements of folk, rock, and soul to create personal and tender music interlaced with messages of truth and positive change."
Daniels will be joined by anthemic vocalist and songwriter, Clover Stieve of Frenchtown, N.J., who blends the genres of folk, pop, and soul. Inspired by the likes of Lake Street Dive, Maggie Rogers, and Carole King, she puts the energy of the 60s and 70s in conversation with contemporary music creating a sound that resonates across generations.
The series continues on May 14 with guest performers Snacktime, an American soul, funk, and alternative band from Philadelphia. The band was founded during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020 when the group began performing free shows in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square.
Opening for Snacktime will be Doylestown's own spacey jazz fusion trio Colacore.
Hailing from Upstate New York, folk rockers Driftwood
headline night three - May 21 - with Katelynn Capser of Serene Green kicking off the show.
And exciting rock quartet Fat Mezz closes out the spring concerts on May 28 with special guests Hay Sugar of
Doylestown.
Guests are encouraged to bring their lawn chair or blanket to the pet-friendly, free concert event. Neshaminy Creek Brewing Co. and Main Street Sport & Social will be providing beverages. Food trucks will also be on site.
Attending the concerts is made easy with the Bucks County Parking Garage just feet away.
