The City of Medford continues its free Condon Shell Summer Concert series with the Baker Thomas Band. Led by founder Tom Bianchi, TBT is collection of local musicians who come together to make great music and have a great time. The band formed in March 2009 when Bianchi picked up a weekly residency at TOAD in Cambridge. It was not intended to be as big as it is now.  The original lineup was drums, bass, guitar, keyboard and trombone, but now is rarely less than nine or 10 artists with a full horn section and percussion section as well.

Bring a chair or blanket and a picnic, or stop by the Medford Farmers Market to grab some food. Remaining concerts in the Thursday evening series will feature the Grammy-nominated Debo Ray on August 1, and the Cheryl Arena Band on August 29.
