Food Trucks, Live Music, Local Beer = A Great Time!

We’ve finalized the lineup for this year’s Trucks Taps and Tunes series, and it’s looking good! Join us on The Green for a free show every Wednesday evening from 6/14 - 8/16.  We’ll be serving up a fantastic night of great music, tasty food, and cold brews. 5-8pm.  

Good Gravy 6/28

Good Gravy, a bluegrass trio from Burlington, VT, cooks up a sound that pays homage to a wide range of flavors from the likes of Tony Rice, Norman Blake, David Grisman, and Jerry Garcia. 

The Most Wanted 7/5

Known for shaking things up, VT’s The Most Wanted brings down the house with free-flowing, soft-spoken, hard-driving jazz fusion (with a dash of hip-hop for good measure).  

Raised by Hippies 7/12

Get ready to get dancing with VT’s own Raised by Hippies as the band resurrects some of the best blues-rock tunes from the 60s and 70s (as well as newer songs that carry that vibe forward). 

The Full Cleveland 7/19

The Full Cleveland is Vermont's premier yacht rock band that faithfully recreates the passion, fashion, and swagger of the best of 70s Billboard Top 40, blue-eyed soul, and AM Gold. This band brings the party wherever they perform.  

Andriana and the Bananas 7/26

Andriana Chobot brings an eclectic mix of pop-rock-indie-folk, with a touch of jazz, using her incredibly expressive alto voice to draw in listeners and hold them in the palm of her hand. With her band, The Bananas, she performs upbeat originals as well as covers. 

Avery Cooper Quartet 8/2

Burlington, VT’s Avery Cooper Quarter is a jazz fusion/funk/jam band that performs original music sure to get you up on your feet and moving with its jazzy yet surprisingly funky vibe.  

Back Porch Revival 8/9

Back Porch Revival is a trio that brings a seasoned and fiery edge to a repertoire of American roots music, including traditional jazz, ragtime, hot jazz, acoustic blues, gospel, and early 20th-century songs from the great American songbook.  

Conor + the Wild Hunt 8/16

Conor + The Wild Hunt injects a bit of soul into Americana, folk, and pop traditions, offering original songs with a wide dynamic range, from cinematic ballads to anthemic explosions.  

It’s going to be a great summer on The Green with Trucks Taps & Tunes!

TRUCKS TAPS AND TUNES ON THE ESSEX EXPERIENCE GREEN 
 

The Green at The Essex Experience began its life as a small garden and gazebo in the center of a successful shopping plaza. Each year it would be decorated with Christmas lights for shoppers to appreciate. It was less of a green, and more of a landscaping piece. Flash forward to today, with over 12,000 square feet of grass, and a capacity of 1500 at times, it has firmly planted itself as The Green at the center of all of our campus gatherings. 

 

Trucks Taps and Tunes is a free community oriented event every Wednesday on The Green from June 14th - August 16th presenting a rotating series of live music, food trucks, and beer!
