NORWOOD — The Norwood Village Green Concert Series has officially announced its upcoming 49th annual season of summer concerts.

The 2022 season will host 23 musical groups across 19 concerts, all hosted at the Liotta Bandshell on the Village Green.

The theme of the 2022 Series will be “From There to Here,” showcasing beloved local artists alongside talents from across North America and Canada.

This season will also add four artists to the list of Grammy award-winning performers to grace the Liotta Bandshell (Alex Cuba, Tom Paxton, Doug Henry, and Jon Vezner), bringing the total to 23 award recipients who have performed here.

All concerts begin at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted. Concerts are free to attend, but there is a “pass the bucket” with proceeds going towards the cost of maintaining the series.

The Norwood Village Green Concert Series is supported by local public funds from the Town of Potsdam and the Village of Norwood.

Additionally, the series has received state and federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act, the New York State Council of the Arts, and NYSCA’s ReStart NY program, as well as the contributions of foundations, businesses, generous concertgoers and private donors.

This year’s performance lineup comes with higher lodging costs to the series. “Pass the bucket” donations will aid in offsetting these costs, in addition to helping the series towards its goal of installing a handicap-accessible ramp entrance to the Liotta Bandshell. The series has committed $20,000 to this project, much of which will be derived from concertgoers’ donations.

The series continues to solicit donations by check. Such donations can be mailed to:
