Barnstead Summer Concerts is ready to rock the town on Saturday, August 13th, from 6 – 8 pm, at the parade grounds.   Nimbus 9, formed more than ten years ago as an original rock quartet.  They have grown and evolved into the high energy, multi-faceted entertainers we see today.  With a decade of experience under their belt, this band brings a youthful flavor of Top 40 hits to the music scene.


Drawing on a wide range of inspirations, this tightly knit quintet plays hard rock, to funk to R&B, and they do it with ease.  Nimbus 9 is quickly finding themselves to be one of the most sought-after cover acts in the Northeast.  This band has a strong following right here in Barnstead, as it includes Greg Neveu, Barnstead Elementary’s awesome music teacher.  Don’t miss this night!
