Shippen Manor Lawn Concert Series Returns August 1 with Kinderhook
The Shippen Manor Lawn Concert Series returns August 1, 2021 with Country Rock band Kinderhook and continues through September 5. This concert series features music ranging from Rock to Bluegrass to Celtic to Americana.
Presented by the Warren County Cultural & Heritage Division of Land Preservation, the concert series runs from August to September, Sunday evenings from 5pm-7pm.
All concerts are held on the lawn in front of Warren County’s Shippen Manor Museum, just one block west of the traffic light on Route 31 at 8 Belvidere Ave., Oxford.
Bring your lawn chairs, blankets, alcohol and smoke free coolers, and picnic baskets to enjoy these free concerts.
Opening this year’s series is Kinderhook, a high energy Country Rock band. Having appeared at the Stone Pony, the Stanhope House, Roxy and Dukes, and festivals throughout the Northeast, all six members are lead singers giving them a distinct sound among bands. Their original songs have a unique sound and put their own twist on classic cover songs.
The Shippen Manor Lawn Concert series continues with:
August 8: NaBodach (Scottish Celtic Songs)
August 15: Rave On (Holly/Orbison Tribute)
August 22: Cirotti and Company (Americana Roots)

The free concerts are presented by the Warren County Cultural & Heritage Division of Land Preservation, supported by the Warren County Board of County Commissioners, and funded in part by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the National Endowment for the Arts. The lawn at Shippen Manor is reasonably accessible and accessible lavatories are available. For further information please call (908) 453-4381. The 711 relay system may also be used.
Na'bodach, Gaelic for “not old men,” is a band exploring the music of the Celtic countries - specifically the songs known by Irish and Scottish soldiers and the Celtic music that evolved in America.
RAVE ON! features the music of BUDDY HOLLY & ROY ORBISON. It’s the timeless music that inspired The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and The Rolling Stones, to name a few, and continues to influence a countless number of today’s artists.
Cirotti and Company is a duo of friends and pickers with a mutual love of American roots music, playing an eclectic array of both original and cover material spanning decades.
Bruce Rupert and Tim Scheetz are a songwriting team that have been writing and playing music for decades and feature classic Bluegrass music.
Paddy and the Pale Boys play the traditional songs and music of Ireland and Scotland. Hard-charging with the urgency of a drowning man's last gasp for air. The band features Martin O'Connor, formerly of the legendary Barleycorns, New Jersey's original celt-rockers.
