Congress Square Park sits at the corner of High and Congress Streets and will host live music with Hurry Down Sunshine during the Portland Fine Craft Show! Stan Davis and Brian Kavanah of Hurry Down have played at the park the last two summers and love the community feeling! They present a wide range of acoustic guitar music from old folk songs, Dylan, slide blues, classic rock, and jazz tunes. Also they have a repertoire of originals that mix Brian’s resonant voice with Stan’s bass and lead guitar. For more information please visit hurrydownsunshine.com.
