Musicians Aplenty for Music on Main Stroll in East Greenwich

NOTE: Musicians are no longer needed. Thank you for your interest.

Whether you’re an accomplished performer with decades of gigging under your belt, or a relative newbie with an instrument, some talent and a desire to share some music, the East Greenwich Chamber of Commerce has an opportunity for you.

They’re recruiting musicians of all stripes who can perform music of all types for the upcoming “Music on Main” stroll on July 23.

“We wanted to create an event that treated strollers to great music from talented local musicians, while at the same time creating an opportunity for local musicians to showcase their talents to the large crowds the strolls bring in.” said East Greenwich Chamber of Commerce executive director, Stephen M. Lombardi.

The Main Street Strolls are popular events held throughout the year to showcase the shops, restaurants and businesses along the town’s primary road. Each stroll has a different theme, like the Dogs on Main Stroll just held that brought pooches and their owner in droves to walk, shop, eat and mingle.

The hope is to attract a good crop of instrumentalists, DJs, and other musicians to line Main Street.

If you’re interested, contact the East Greenwich Chamber of Commerce by phone (401-885-0020) in person (580 Main St. from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mon. - Fri) email (glenn@eastgreenwichchamber.com).

First preference will be given to applicants who can provide examples of their performances. Applications need to be submitted to the Chamber no later than July 20. No musicians are allowed to participate without written approval from the Chamber.

The Music on Main Stroll will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The last stroll of the summer will be the Taste of EG Stroll on Aug. 20. As you can imagine, it’s worth saving your appetite for that!
