The Mansion parking is reserved for handicap guests only. ALL vehicles will be directed to Mercy High School/Snow School when Mansion handicap parking is full. The most convenient parking is located at Mercy High School. Concerts will be held in light rain, but cancelled with the proximity of electrical storms that may endanger both guests and musicians.

Please note that the Mansion is closed during the concerts. There are port-o-potty’s located on the west side of the lawn by the garage and at the rear of the overflow parking lot. There is a 10 minute intermission and the Mansion grounds close 30 minutes after the conclusion of the concert.
Closing out our concert series on July 31st, we are bringing The Big Takeover to the Mansion for an evening not to be missed! Fronted by the charismatic Jamaican-born singer and songwriter Nee Nee Rushie, the seven-piece New York band The Big Takeover plays original music that is rooted in and reverent toward the genres and rhythms of Jamaican pop: reggae, rocksteady, ska. They are devotees of Desmond Dekker and the way the old school did it. At the same time, The Big Takeover crosses lines and blends traditions like global pop fusionists. Their deceptively complex arrangements and big hooks connect with the spirit of Motown and the uptown sophistication of the 21st century retro soul and R&B revival scene.
CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR OUR MUSIC SERIES. PLEASE CONTACT [email protected] TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SPONSOR OPPORTUNITIES.
