Horns in the House Returns to the Gazebo Thursday

Horns in the House returns to the Medfield Gazebo by popular demand on June 30 at 6 p.m., hosted by MEMO member Borchers Law, P.C. 

The 10-week concert series is brought to Medfield through the generosity of the Medfield Employers and Merchants Organization, MEMO, with thanks to its corporate sponsor Needham Bank. The 10 concert series begins Thursday evenings in the summer at 6 p.m. in Gazebo Park adjacent to the library - weather permitting.

An all-time favorite with concert-goers, Horns in the House consists of eight musicians who produce a strong sound recognized by the “punctuating horns.” They include trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone, flute and saxophone. The rhythm section boasts acoustic and electric guitars, piano/organ, bass and percussion.  Plenty of harmony is supplied by a female lead and male backup. Together there is enough variety to cover all styles: R&B, classic rock, swing, disco, blues and contemporary hits.

With a list of 200 titles, the band can please all musical tastes and even encourages requests. The ensemble is led by George Murphy, a veteran performer with over 30 years in the music business, and thousands of performances under his belt.  Medfield’s own Doug Olson, music director at Medfield High School, often was featured with the band over past years.

 Ana Buckley and the Armstrong Brothers will return to the Gazebo on July 7 hosted by Buckley is a graduate of Montrose School and has delighted Gazebo audiences for several years.  MEMO will be happy to welcome this group back again.

Gazebo Park is a perfect place for a picnic supper, brought from home or purchased at area food establishments. The atmosphere is relaxed and kids are not only welcome, but are a major part of the entertainment as they dance to the music. Bring your own chairs or blankets and enjoy MEMO’s gift to Medfield each Thursday.
