HUNTINGTON – The Summer Music Series on Thursdays in the town square will kick off on Thursday, July 11 from 5:30 to 8 p.m.

The Hotshot Hillbillies, Jim Dignum, Wendy Walz, Bill O’Conner and Mike Basiliere play a mix of new and old country, southern rock, and blues. Voted Best in the Berkshires in 2017, the band brings harmonies and incorporates the harmonica, mandolin and fiddle for a fresh take on old classics.
