Performance Schedule:

• August 13 - The Thistle Brothers: Cameron and Devin are a Boston-based brotherly duo making music for a cause. Each song that they release is connected to a different charity, and the money made from each song (through streams, purchases, and donations) is sent to its respective charity. Their main influences are Stevie Wonder, the Beatles, and Bob Dylan, placing them in a sonic space that blends folk, R&B, and classic rock. Through their music, they hope to not only please the ears of their listeners, but to also help make the world a better place.

• August 27 - Billy Wylder: From the front-lines at Standing Rock to the archaic streets of Jerusalem, the Sahel Desert to Carnegie Hall, music has been the source of strength for Billy Wylder. The band features Avi Salloway (Bombino/Hey Mama) joined by an inspired cast of singular artists who have performed across five continents including concerts at Coachella, Newport Folk Festival, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Montreal Jazz Fest, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center.
  The music weaves together American folk and rock with sensibilities from the Sahara Desert, exploring new musical space akin to Devendra Banhart, Beck, and Tinariwen. Billy Wylder’s new recordings evoke musical evolutions built on grooves informed by ancient African rhythms, art-rock textures, expansive guitars, violins, synths, and drum machines. Salloway’s lyrics flow with inspiration from mythical songwriting hero Leonard Cohen, while threading together more abstract imagery reminiscent of Thom Yorke.
  The band has toured extensively, performing and collaborating with renowned artists including Jack Johnson, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Bombino, The Low Anthem, and Pete Seeger.
  

This program is presented by the National Park Service, the Department of Conservation and Recreation, and Boston Harbor Now, in partnership with Boston Harbor City Cruises, as part of the of the Boston Harbor Islands’ 25th anniversary as a National Park and 50th anniversary as a State Park.
