Concerts

Off Square Music sponsors several types of concerts and concert series.

The 1st Wednesday Concert Series (formerly, 4th Friday Concerts at Home) features touring musicians and bands. For 2022, we have scheduled two dates so far, March 2 and May 4. These concerts are held at Stage Left Cafe, 125 Van Buren St., Woodstock. All concerts begin at 7:30 pm. There is a suggested donation of $15.00/pp for these concerts.

In 2021, we hosted Sundays on the Square for five Sunday evenings in August and look forward to doing another summer concert series.

And from time to time we co-sponsor concerts. Our most recent co-sponsorships were with the Woodstock Opera House and included, among others:

  • Karen Reshkin and Mike O’Regan
  • Mark Dvorak
  • Anderlik, Otto and Church
  • Small Potatoes

If you enjoy great music and fun times out in Woodstock with friends, we welcome you to join us!
