It’s been an especially tough year for music – not only for the artists and fans, but also for all of the great venues in northern Rhode Island that rely on live entertainment to bring in the crowds.
The good news is that most, if not all, local venues have relaunched an entertainment line-up for summer 2021, and events in July and August will feature everything from DJs and trivia contests, to great, local bands. Fairs and festivals have also resumed in northern Rhode Island, with towns hosting several summer concerts and gatherings.
In 2021, it seems you don’t have to drive far to find entertainment almost any night of the week.
Take Cady’s Tavern in Glocester, where the “Roadhouse Blues Jam,” has resumed every Sunday. The venue now hosts Wise Guys Team Trivia every Friday, while Saturdays are reserved for bands. Dubbed, “Rhode Island’s original roadhouse,” Cady’s boasts 15 beers on tap, plus a full pub menu featuring award-winning wings and chili.
“It has been difficult since this pandemic started, and I am very grateful that we have a great customer base and (that) we have done well with our food menu,” noted owner Robin Tyo.
Johnny’s Victory Diner in Burrillville now offers live music alongside a barbecue menu every Friday night from 6 to 9 p.m., weather-permitting, with entertainment scheduled through August on their outdoor patio.
And although organizer Rob Greyfox cancelled some of his concert series for The Island in North Smithfield, that venue has released a lineup of its own with dates for several free concerts throughout the summer.
Below find a complete list of live entertainment in northern Rhode Island through July and August. A separate schedule on pages 4 and 5 cover special events, such as festivals and summer concerts. Keep in mind, line-ups are subject to change and it’s always best to confirm with the venue.
