Music at the Exchange is a free lunchtime program, Wednesday from 12 to 1:30. You can pick up a lunch from Seven Villages, Cafe Europa or the mobile vendor without missing a sound. You can also grab a take-out lunch from one of the other downtown restaurants and bring it to the Exchange. What a great way to spend a lunch break!
Not surprisingly, the program is organized by Main Street Waterbury and its Promotions Committee. If something good is happening downtown, Main Street is probably involved!
The Wednesday programs are sponsored by TD Bank, which is why they are free.
Here's the rest of the lineup for this year:
August 3
Angelo Ruggiero
Angelo Ruggiero sings a blend of the great standards of Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and Engelbert, not to mention artists such as Neil Diamond and Billy Joel; as well as the sounds of the '50s and '60s which he sings on tour with the great Doo Wop groups. Angelo also sings his beloved Neapolitan favorites.
