ROCHESTER - Rochester Main Street will present folk musician Mike Morris at this Friday's Music On The Square Concert in downtown Rochester.

The concerts are held every Friday 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.

Morris says he learned the power of a song when his older brother locked him in a closet and made him listen to Black Sabbath's "Paranoid" over and over again, he says.

Morris calls his music Freestyle Folk, and though he usually plays solo or with his trusty jamman looper, he likes nothing better than sharing a song with a fellow music lover.

Music On The Square Concerts are held weekly through August 25. In case of inclement weather the concert will be cancelled. Free parking nearby is available at the North Main, Union and Congress Street Parking lots. For more information please contact the Rochester Main Street office by calling 603-330-3208 or emaildirector@rochestermainstreet.org. The series continues on Friday, August 11 with Susie Burke.
