Press Release

The Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce and Westport Library are pleased to announce the return of a limited run of Drive-in Concerts. Westport resident, Sophie B Hawkins, will open the season on Friday April 23rd. Deep Banana Blackout will follow the next night on Saturday April 24th. Another set of shows will be announced soon.

Grammy nominated Sophie B Hawkins, with two top 100 hits, will kick off the season with her incredible voice and 5-piece band. The show will also be a fundraiser for suicide awareness in association with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Deep Banana Blackout will play a rare show the next night, bringing their high energy mix of jam, funk, and blues to the drive-in with their outstanding 8-piece band.

"These are two back-to-back powerhouse shows with phenomenal artists," said Matthew Mandell, Executive Director and president of the Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce. "We wanted to up our game and I think we have. Westport is about to rock."

“We want to thank the Chamber for partnering with us again this spring to provide a very special series of outdoor concerts,” stated Westport Library Executive Director Bill Harmer. “The entertainment last year was tremendous and a respite from the stress of the pandemic, so we wanted to continue to do it. We appreciate everyone’s support in making these events happen.”

This weekend of shows is sponsored by Assured Partners. 

Tickets for each show are $150 per car (5 person max). Tickets for Sophie B Hawkins will go on sale on Monday March 29th at 10am. Deep Banana Blackout will go on sale on Tuesday March 30th at 10am. www.westportwestonchamber.com/supper

The rain date for either show is Sunday April 25th.

Please support local businesses by getting takeout and bringing it to the show.

It is unknown where things will be in terms of the pandemic come the fall. The Chamber, Library and Town will assess the situation as it relates to outdoor concerts. Hopefully things will have returned to normal and Supper & Soul will once again be held in the Library’s Trefz Forum
