‘Silver Spring Swings’ Thursday Night Free Family Concert Will Feature ‘Revelator Hill Blues Band’ on July 27

The “Silver Spring Swings” long-running free summer concert series with groups that inspire the audience to get up and dance will feature the Revelator Hill Blues Band led by master guitarist and founder Bobby Thompson on Veterans Plaza in Downtown Silver Spring on Thursday, July 27.

A popular feature of the summer concert series, which will continue through July, has always been the community interaction of dancing with strangers in the front of the stage. The series is called “Silver Spring Swings” not because it features swing music, but because of the dancing.

Veterans Plaza is adjacent to the Silver Spring Civic Building at One Veterans Place in Downtown Silver Spring. Performances are canceled due to weather only if it is dangerous weather at 7 p.m.

The family-focused series also will have games and activities for children, chill time for the parents and delicious food and ice cream nearby in the Silver Spring Arts and Entertainment District.

Along with Bobby Thompson, the Revelator Hill Blues Band is known for the fiery vocals of Rachel Ann Morgan. They combine with veterans Gina Cocco on bass and Ben Tufts on drums to create a solid rhythm section of scene.
