Plimoth Patuxet Museums Presents Free Concert for the Community on August 1, 6 - 8 pm

Plymouth, Massachusetts (July 11, 2024) – The GroovaLottos, a multi-Grammy nominated band, will perform at Plimoth Patuxet Museums on Thursday, August 1, from 6 - 8 pm, as part of the Museum’s 2024 Indigenous Voices Series. This concert is free and open to the public thanks to the generous support of the Town of Plymouth Promotions Fund and the Town’s Visitors Services Bureau.

The GroovaLottos emerged from the synergy of seasoned touring players and studio maestros, reshaping musical traditions into a dynamic fusion that transcends genres. The GroovaLottos are not just a band; they are trailblazers of the Thump & Soul sound. Citing a range of influences including the blues, Native American music, jazz and soul, The GroovaLottos craft music that resonates across genres.

Plimoth Patuxet is pleased to welcome back The GroovaLottos for a performance on Thursday, August 1, at the Museum’s outdoor Eel River stage, adjacent to the Peabody Pavilion. “We’re excited to be grooving at the museum again and pleased to be a part of their expansive programming,” said Mwalim DaPhunkee Professor, a founding member of the band.

2024’s Indigenous Voices Series is a continuation of the Museum’s 2023 Indigenous Voices: Celebrating 50 Years of Plimoth Patuxet’s Wampanoag Indigenous Program. The goal of the series is to create opportunities for Indigenous performers from throughout the Eastern Woodlands region to connect with diverse audiences through free and low-cost public programming.

In 2023, Plymouth County residents along with visitors from around the country engaged with Indigenous heritage and culture through this dynamic series. For over 50 years, the Museum has told the interwoven stories of the Indigenous and European people who met along these historic shores of change in the 17th century. Through the Indigenous VoicesSeries, Plimoth Patuxet is proud to expand upon this legacy by building relationships with contemporary Indigenous artists and educators through their art while serving the public with the Museum’s educational mission.

“Plimoth Patuxet Museums is dedicated to celebrating Indigenous voices, culture, and art;” said Executive Director Ellie Donovan, “by providing this concert free to the community, we hope to increase equal access to culturally enriching programming that amplifies Indigenous voices.”

The concert will be held outdoors and attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs to enjoy the lawn seating. Tickets to this program are free and must be reserved in advance at the following link: https://plimoth.org/events/the-groovalottos
