FORWARD – Avey Grouws Band

Local Music. Local Parks.

FORWARD is a free summer concert series that brings live music, food trucks, and creative activities to parks across Rochester. Each event features two bands and a welcoming, all-ages atmosphere.

Concerts rotate through every ward and are co-hosted by City Councilmembers. Whether you live nearby or are exploring a new part of town, you’re invited to bring a blanket, grab a bite, and enjoy an evening of local music in the park.

FORWARD is always free and open to everyone.

Schedule

5:00 p.m. | Get ready!

Come early to grab dinner and settle in. Food and drink vendors begin serving at 5:00 p.m. The music starts at 5:30. Lawn chairs, blankets, coolers, and picnics are welcome.

5:30 p.m. | Jake La Botz

Rooted in blues and storytelling, Jake La Botz draws on years spent playing in churches, bars, and tattoo parlors across the U.S. His music is gritty and cinematic, shaped by time in New Orleans, the Delta, and his native Chicago.

6:30 p.m. | Avey Grouws Band

With powerhouse vocals, soulful guitar, and a driving rhythm section, Avey Grouws Band rock delivers blues-infused energy and heart. Come ready to move.

About the series

Each FORWARD show features two bands, food trucks, and free activities for all ages. The Rochester Public Library Bookmobile, Parks & Recreation’s Mobile Rec trailer, and the Art Stop will all be on-site during the concert with books, games, and creative fun for kids and families.

Bring a blanket, invite your neighbors, and enjoy the evening together.

Live captioning is available on your phone or tablet at streamtext.net/player.
