(PARK RIDGE, NJ) – Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco, III, the Bergen County Board of Commissioners and the Bergen County Parks Department's Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs announced that the 2023 Music at the Barn Concert Series will begin on Sunday, July 30, 2023 from 4:00pm – 6:30pm at the Wortendyke Barn Museum, a County Historic Site, in Park Ridge, NJ.
The first performance will feature the Dean Shot Band – a show-stopping, gifted guitarist from a New Jersey musical family. Dean spent six of his formative years playing alongside blues legend Hubert Sumlin and, in recent years, Dean has toured with blues royalty such as Kim Wilson, Junior Watson, and Mark Hummel, as well as with his own band. The Dean Shot Band will consist of Dean Shot on vocals and lead guitar, Charles Himel on bass, Alex Raderman on drums, and Organ Dave on keyboard.
Please note, seating is limited for all Music at the Barn Concerts so attendees are encouraged to bring chairs/blankets as well as food.
The Wortendyke Barn has been a Pascack Valley landmark since its construction on 500 acres of land bought by the Wortendyke family in 1735. It was used continually as a barn into the 20th century and is one of only six pure Dutch barn types in Bergen County. In 1997, the barn opened as a museum with agriculture exhibits that include 18th and 19th century farm implements and tools, and the history of the Wortendyke family farm.
This program is made possible in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
