The Town of Cavendish presents another in its continuing series of Wednesday evening concerts on July 14th at 6:00 p.m. when Yankee Chank will appear on the Svec Memorial Green in Proctorsville, weather permitting. In the event of rain, the concert will take place at Gethsemane Church, off Depot St. in Proctorsville.

Yankee Chank is a Vermont group that performs traditional Cajun music from the heart of southwest Louisiana. The French-speaking people of eastern Canada, our immediate neighbor to the north, were the inspiration for the southern Cajuns and thereby inspired Yankee Chank. The band has been performing both Cajun and Zydeco music around Vermont and beyond, using fiddle, accordion, guitar and bass since 1996. The band’s performances offer a distinctive immersion into this unique regional music.

This concert is coordinated by the Cavendish Community and Conservation Association on behalf of the Town of Cavendish. All concerts are free and open to the public. Bring a blanket or a chair and a picnic dinner. Join with friends or make new ones. Both Murdock’s Restaurant and Outer Limits Brewing are open for dining and takeout. Please support your local businesses and please help continue this free Wednesday evening tradition in Cavendish. Everyone is welcome.

Wearing masks at the concert and physical distancing are only required for those who are not vaccinated. The Green is large and the band will be loud enough to be heard throughout, so please spread out and maintain distancing.

For more information, please call Robin at 226-7736. In case of rain, please check the Cavendish Facebook page for further information.
