  • Doc Robinson at the Ross Farm: A Golden Hour Sendoff to Summer Aug. 29

    The Ross Farm 135 N. Maple Ave., Basking Ridge, NJ

    Get tickets here Fronted by the commanding tenor vocals of Jon Elliott, Doc Robinson delivers a sound that’s equal parts song-driven storytelling, heartbreak harmonies, and feel-good groove. Named for early influences Dr. Dog and Smokey Robinson, the band has grown into something all their own - a genre-blending, midwestern gumbo that’s as infectious as it is soulful. Known for their captivating live shows, Doc Robinson draws audiences in with an easy charm, tight musicianship, and an energy that feels just right for a late August night under the open sky. Since forming in Columbus, OH, they’ve become a rising force in the indie music scene, touring nationally with artists like Caamp, Neal Francis, and The Brook and the Bluff, and landing songs in series including The Walking Dead and BoJack Horseman. Join us at the historic Ross Farm for one more summer evening of live music - bring your chairs or blankets, pack a picnic, and settle in for a night that captures the spirit of the season. Doors open at 6 for the 7 p.m. concert.
