Thorn and Roses, the first act to hit Music on High, June 29.

Every Friday night from June 29 to August 31, from 6:30 to 8 p.m., lively musical entertainment will be cascading from the alley between The Southampton Olive Oil Company and Hills Insurance on High Street in downtown Southampton.

In a Southampton BIA media release, this is the first event of its kind for the Promotions Committee. “There are many locals and tourists that enjoy walking High Street in the evenings and we think providing entertainment will create a lively atmosphere while they walk, shop or dine downtown Southampton,” said Dave Rudell, Committee Co-Chair.

Each of the 10 Friday evening performances will feature musical acts sponsored by Southampton businesses including: Southampton Olive Oil Company, Thorncrest Outfitters, Sisters on Huron, Guesthouse 173 High Street, Fun Ice Cream Parlour, Chantry Breezes, Lac Boutique, The Cabana Southampton, Little Black Dog Catering, and Southampton Pet Hospital.
