Starting Tuesday, April 11, the University District Concerts at Noon series will offer everyone who work and lives in or near Camden a great opportunity to enjoy the warming spring weather and listen to live music, all in the heart of the city's University District.
Sponsored by the County of Camden, Camden County College, Rowan University, and Rutgers University-Camden, this free lunchtime series will feature:
April 11: The Kate Gaffney Band will perform a concert of classic rock infused with blues, folk, and homespun Americana influences. A favorite performer at area concerts and clubs, Gaffney has recorded two CDs, "Highways" and "The New Then."
April 18: Ju Taun, billed as "southern New Jersey's answer to Boyz II Men," will perform. The five-member R&B group tours nationally with acts like Ashanti and LL Cool J, and produced a CD, "How Bad U Want It."
April 25: Webb Thomas & The Soul Patrol will perform a concert of jazz, soul, and funk.
All concerts will be held on the Rutgers-Camden quad, located on front of the Paul Robeson Library. There are no rain dates. Admission is free of charge, courtesy of Camden County. Food will be available for purchase.
More than 8,000 students attend classes at the University District in Camden, which consists of Camden County College, Rowan University, and Rutgers. The University District is located along Cooper Street, a corridor through which more than three million guests visited the Camden Waterfront in 2005.
There are some tables and benches available. If you arrive early and bring your lunch you can stake out a good spot. The cafeteria in the campus center has a variety of selections: hot entrees, sandwiches, pizza, burgers, etc. The weather is beautiful today and a little music over lunch would surely make for a productive afternoon.
