点评:When the calendar turns to July, Henry Law Park becomes a very busy place. Children are out of school, so the Dover Adventure Playground in the park gets more use. And, the two summer concert series get underway at the Rotary Arts Pavilion which is also on park grounds. Plus, the Cochecho Riverwalk along the riverfront in the park gets more sightseers, walkers, joggers, and runners.
My most recent visit was to attend the first Cocheco Arts Festival Headliner Series concert. Those are traditionally held on Friday nights.
This concert drew a good-sized crowd of 300 to 400 people. Some sat in the amphitheater seating. Many others brought lawn chairs or blankets. People of all ages attended – from youngsters to seniors.
Performing for the the season’s premier concert was John Nolan & Good Co. It’s difficult to put a single-genre label on songwriter Jon Nolan’s music. When he plays with Say Zuzu, the style is alt-country. The music played with Good Co. had amore of a country sound. Some songs had pop overtones; others were more like folk music. His songs tell stories. He’s like a modern-day Bill Morrissey or Cormac McCarthy.
The sound system is excellent. Providing sound engineering services this night was New England Mobile Audio.
Although not a big fan of country music, I enjoyed John Nolan’s music and the performance which I rate at 4.25. I can recommend attending a summer concert here.

翻译:七月来临,亨利·劳公园变得热闹非凡。孩子们放假了,公园里的多佛冒险乐园也因此更加热闹。此外,位于公园内的扶轮艺术馆也开始举办两场夏季音乐会。沿着公园河岸的科切科河滨步道也迎来了更多游客、散步者、慢跑者和跑步者。
我最近一次去那里是为了参加科切科艺术节的首场压轴音乐会。这些音乐会通常在周五晚上举行。
这场音乐会吸引了三四百名观众。有些人坐在露天剧场的座位上,还有很多人自带了折叠椅或毯子。各个年龄段的人都来了——从孩童到老人。
为本季首场音乐会献艺的是约翰·诺兰和他的乐队。很难用单一的音乐类型来定义创作歌手约翰·诺兰的音乐。他与 Say Zuzu 乐队合作时,风格是另类乡村。而与 Good Co. 乐队合作时,音乐则更偏向乡村音乐。有些歌曲带有流行元素,有些则更像民谣。他的歌曲讲述着一个个故事。他就像当代的比尔·莫里西或科马克·麦卡锡。
音响系统非常棒。当晚的音响工程服务由新英格兰移动音频公司提供。
虽然我不是乡村音乐的忠实粉丝,但我很喜欢约翰·诺兰的音乐和演出,我给这场演出打 4.25 分。我推荐大家来这里观看夏季音乐会。
