Real Good for Free: Sonny Landreth @ Mountain Park, 8/15

The Iron Horse Entertainment Group rules the Northampton, Mass. music scene with a great string of venues including the Iron Horse Music Hall, Pearl Street, the Basement and the Calvin Theater.

Now they’re enlarging their entertainment empire with the addition of a new venue – Mountain Park on Route 5, Holyoke, Mass.

As previously announced, the Decemberists and the Heartless Bastards will play there on Sunday, August 16.

But the venue will get a test drive – so to speak – with a free concert on Saturday, August 15. Louisiana guitarslinger Sonny Landreth headlines the big bash, which will also include Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens, Johnny A, Rubblebucket Orchestra and the Frank Manzi Band.

The free, eight-hour festival is scheduled to begin at 2pm.

Admission is free, and so is parking.
