TOLEDO – Black Swamp Conservancy has launched Paddle and Groove, a new concert series that takes place on the Maumee River.
A band playing on a pontoon boat will traverse the Maumee River while kayakers follow as they listen to the music. Concerts are scheduled through September, one Wednesday per month, from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. Tickets are required for each concert.
The first Paddle and Groove concert kicked off in July and featured Shamarr Allen, a New Orleans trumpet player and his band. The inaugural event had 68 registered participants.
On Aug. 14: Charlie Millard Band, a keyboard-driven trio from northern Michigan
On Sept. 11:Cleveland-based Ben Gage Band, featuring original folk-rock music
Those wanting to participate can rent kayaks from Maumee Tackle for $45, or bring their own boats for $15.
