President, Frank Bombaci, Sr of Bring Our Music Back, Inc and Ken Kitchings of Kitchings Productions will work with the community to bring music back to Harkness Memorial Park the way it was in the beginning... simple, professionally produced, wonderful mid-week music, all about family, friends and community enjoying the beauty of al fresco music in one of Connecticut’s state treasures, Harkness Memorial State Park.  The goal of August Nights at Harkness is to stage a community involved event for the whole family to enjoy while picnicking in the park on a summers night . All concerts will open with a youth music performance.
