The Gazebo park, adjacent to the , is a fine place for a supper picnic and gives kids space to play. Bring your picnic or purchase dinner from a local merchant, bring your chairs and blankets and the family; enjoy this last concert of the season.

The Grass Gypsys, an independent husband and wife musical duo from Boston, Justin and Colleen Rosconi Kleya, blend styles from America and around the world. Jazz, Blues, Rock n' Roll, Folk, R&B are included in their repertoire of original music.

They have been compared to Tuck & Patti, Nora Jones and Fleetwood Mac. With Colleen on the vocals accompanied by Justin on the acoustic guitar, their music is fresh and entertaining for all ages. The duo got its start in Boston in 2005 and has been touring across the United States since 2006.

They have recorded two full-length, self-released albums: "Legend's, Myth's, & Fairytales" (2006) and "Lesson's From Eden" (2008).  The duo is backed by electric guitars, tight bass guitar, a dynamic drummer and a soulful saxophone player. What a treat for Medfield to host this upcoming young group of musicians.
