Pacifico, who has played in the series before, “delivers a confident, upbeat collection of road-tested rock/pop music,” according to the concert organizers’ website.
Pacifico’s music is described by Darien Summer nights as “a radio-friendly sound that evokes Gin Blossoms and Matthew Sweet, and a storyteller’s cadence that has been compared to James Taylor.
Here’s P.J. Pacifico’s website.
You can come out for evening concerts every Friday this summer at Grove Street Plaza in downtown Darien (with one exception — next Friday the Spadtastics and the Kind Buds hold a “Darien Summer Nights” benefit concert at Tilley Pond).
The concerts are Friday nights 6 to 8:30 p.m. and all are free of charge.
The concerts are being funded by Baywater Properties and Grove Street Plaza, through the support of their retail tenants and theDarien Chamber of Commerce.
“All that we are asking in return is that the people of Darien and neighboring towns think about shopping locally, and support our local businesses,” the Darien Summer Nights website says.
