“Sights and Sounds of Motown” to be Held at Walnut Hill Park

Adrian Elliott has announced a “Sights and Sounds of Motown 2” concert to be held in Walnut Hill Park in September.

“The years’ event highlights some of the most talented artists in Connecticut & Massachusetts,” the concert’s promotion says. “The artists performing have all poetry/music ‘Catalogs’ and can’t wait to share.”

The 2020 “Sights and Sounds of Motown 2” concert is to be held on September 26, 2020 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.

Elliott says that the host of concert is JT Moore and that there will be performances by,

Tre Brown
Antonio Marquise
S Ysanne Marshall
Darlene Asmarah Fernandez
Malay Speaks
Jus Hues
Aleecya Foreman
Iunre Smart Jr.
Tchalla Williams

The “free for all” community concern, the event announcement says, “is organized by: The A-Team-Gallery 66/New Britain Visitors Center – New Britain’s Open Mic.”

Elliott also says that vendors are being sought, “please email – [email protected].”

The COVID-19 pandemic prevents the concern from being held indoors at the Trinity-On-Main arts venue this year, the event announcement says, “the show must go on.”

This year’s concern is to be held at the Darius Miller Bandshell in New Britain’s historic Walnut Hill Park.

“Motown historically made its mark not just in the music industry,” the concert announcement says, “but in society at large, with a sound that has become one of the most stunning success stories of the 20th century.”

The Motown Museum says that,

As an irresistible force of social and cultural change, Berry Gordy’s legendary Motown made its mark not just on the music industry, but society at large, with a sound that has become one of the most significant musical accomplishments and stunning success stories of the 20th century. Diana Ross & the Supremes, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, Stevie Wonder, the Temptations, the Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson & the Jackson 5, the Marvelettes, Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Lionel Richie & the Commodores, Teena Marie, their music communicated and brought together a racially divided country and segregated society, around the world, touching all people of all ages and races.

Inviting people to the concert, Elliott says, “Please come early and plan to stay!”
