The Village Sunset Music Series has been conceived to be the background sounds to your outdoor dining experience, in our #pedestrianfriendly Maplewood downtown. The Friday and Saturday music series will feature the talent of locally-grown musicians. Maplewood Division of Arts & Culture in collaboration with Maplewood Village Alliance, are injecting much needed energy and rhtythm to the streets of our artsy town.

Come eat and stroll, while enjoying the performances this week!

LAREDO are Larry Hardie and Ed Melee on guitars and vocals, and Gary Shippy on drums and vocals. They play a wide ranging variety of rock and roll, folk, blues and country songs. Their live performances always get the audience dancing, and usually singing along. The band often invites musician friends from the Maplewood/South Orange community to play along with them at their shows. The many years of playing together has wrought a tight, professional stage presence that entices and delights audiences young and old alike.
