With over 10 albums released across various projects, their latest record, Blood Harmony (2024), explores themes of love, longing, and reflection, showcasing their evolving sound and deep musical connection.
All Celebrate New Concord concerts are held at Village Park, 2 West Main Street. Admission is free. Bring your family, friends and your favorite folding chair. Come early and enjoy the New Concord Farmers Market from 4-7 p.m. at the corner of Maple and Layton.

About Celebrate New Concord
Celebrate New Concord has reached over 17,000 audience members since its founding in 2001 by the late Muskingum University music professor Dr. William Schlacks. He and his co-director, the late Rod Lang, also of Muskingum University, worked with the Celebrate New Concord committee and village leadership to bring high-quality, family-friendly summer entertainment in an informal environment. Performances feature a variety of musical and other entertainment genres. The concerts are traditionally held on Tuesdays in June, July and August.
Celebrate New Concord is funded entirely through individual and business contributions. Committee members serve as volunteers.
