A favorite regional duo of Blues musicians, "Poor Howard and Bullfrog Rogers" will be the feature at Friday's Factory Court Brown Bag Concert in the heart of downtown Rochester.

The Factory Court Brown Bag Concerts are held on Fridays through Aug. 29, from 11:45 a.m. until 1:30 p.m.

Concertgoers are asked to "bring a chair and buy or bring a lunch" to enjoy a musical performance in the heart of downtown Rochester. Canopies are erected among the flowers in this paved courtyard to provide shade for the concert attendees.

This performance is a duo featuring regional blues musicians Howard Stith and Mike "Bullfrog" Rogers. This duo also was featured at this year's Rochester Blues /BBQ Festival.

In case of inclement weather the concerts are canceled. Free parking nearby is available at the City Hall, Union, and Congress Street Parking lots. For more information please contact the Rochester Main Street office by calling 603-330-3208 or email director@rochestermainstreet.org. Coming up on Friday, August 7 will be Rochester's own local jazz vocalist Linda Pouliot.

The concerts are sponsored by Citizens Bank and a grant from the N.H. State Council On The Arts.
