NORTH ADAMS - The last concert in the 2007 "Music in the Park" series will be presented by the four-member band Miss Guided on Thursday, Aug. 30, at 6:30 p.m. at Western Gateway Heritage State Park.
Members of the North Adams-based group include Mike Pytko on vocals, acoustic and electric guitar; Jeff Garrison, vocals, harmonica, percussion and acoustic guitar; Ron Mariani, bass guitar; and Bruce Pierce, vocals, percussion and keyboard.
Their musical repertoire draws from classic rock 'n' roll from the '50s to the '90s as well as country music from the same eras. The band covers artists such as Jim Croce, Tom Petty, Neil Young, The Romantics, Alabama and the Turtles and plays some original works.
The concerts are held on the north-end deck of Building 4 by the caboose. Concertgoers are asked to bring a lawn chair or blanket and must park in the north end or the Sons of Italy parking lots. People are encouraged to bring picnic suppers. Although no admission is charged, donations are accepted and greatly appreciated so that the concert series can continue.
The park is located on Route 8 between State and Furnace streets. The state Department of Conservation and Recreation operates the Visitors' Center seven days a week from 10 to 5 and is the sponsor of the concert. The park houses an exhibit on the building of the Hoosac Tunnel from 1850-1875 and the rich history of the area. It also maintains an extensive tourist information center and public restrooms.
