Feelin' groovy: Organizers announce music lineup for Thursdays on 1st & 3rd

(THE MED CITY BEAT) - The Rochester Downtown Alliance on Wednesday released this summer's concert lineup for Thursdays on First & Third.

Seemingly every genre — from bluegrass to hip hop to world music  will be represented at this year's event. Artists range from homegrown talent like KnuFunk and After School Special to nationally-touring performers including July Talk (featured) and Quiet Life.  

Thursdays on First & Third will be held every Thursday from June 4 to August 27, except June 25 (the week of Rochesterfest). Musical performances begin each night at 5 and 7 p.m. on two separate stages.

The free event, which features more than 100 art, craft and food vendors, attracts thousands of people to downtown Rochester each week.
