Hungry but tired of eating at the the same old same old restaurants ? Try heading down to One M&T Plaza on Main Street at Eagle Street. Since it’s their 39th year, it almost seems unnecessary to bring it up, but their summer concert series kicked off yesterday. This annual summer series brings the tunes of many different bands to their plaza all summer long.
Running from yesterday, June 9th, till August 29th, it brings one-hour performances from noon till 1 while downtowners enjoy their lunches. With every kind of music including jazz, soul, gospel, rock, dance, and more, it is a great way to get out and enjoy the day and get a new taste of a different music every single weekday.
There is not much seating, so if you want to sit and eat, better get there early. Otherwise stand and enjoy the music! The list of musicians is as follows:
