After a couple weeks of threatening clouds, Sounds & Sights welcomed the return of beautiful Thursday night weather.

Bill Bynum & Co. were on the library lawn.

Captain Ivory, always a S&S crowd favorite, was on South Street.

Eric Moore was in the alley.

Crossroads was on Middle Street.

Crossroads was playing classic rock. It was fun to see a flock of kids dancing to music that maaaaaaaybe might possibly be just a few years older than they are.

She found a creative way to use a tambourine.

Bliss was at the Sylvan.

2×4 was at the Glazier Building.

2×4 had an enthusiastic audience.

The Avery Goode Band was at the clocktower gazebo.

Face painting was in the courtyard.

It’s always fun to see the kids’ reactions when they get their first looks at the finished product.

The fun continues this Thursday — and every Thursday through the summer! — from 6:30-8:30 in downtown Chelsea. See you there!
