SUMMARY:Jim Belushi featuring Jami Belushi and the James Montgomery Band at Paddy's
DESCRIPTION:Jim Belushi featuring Jami Belushi and the James Montgomery Band at Paddy’s brings a sprawling blues and rock lineup to Misquamicut on Saturday\, August 15\, for a three-hour beachfront show led by an entertainer whose connection to the blues runs much deeper than his film and television career. Belushi will be joined by his daughter\, Nashville singer-songwriter Jami Belushi\, veteran bluesman James Montgomery\, and musicians with ties to Aerosmith\, the J. Geils Band\, and the original Blues Brothers. \nMost people know Jim Belushi from Saturday Night Live\, According to Jim\, and a film career stretching from About Last Night and K-9 to The Principal. But music has run alongside acting for decades. Belushi has fronted his own rhythm-and-blues band\, The Sacred Hearts\, and eventually joined Dan Aykroyd in carrying the Blues Brothers tradition forward after the death of his older brother John. Jim and Aykroyd have performed together for more than two decades\, including opening for the Rolling Stones at Chicago’s Soldier Field. (Jim Belushi) \nAt Paddy’s\, that history meets another generation. Jami Belushi has begun building her own career as a singer-songwriter\, making her major live debut before roughly 25\,000 people at Chicago’s Windy City Smokeout in 2025. Her father joined her onstage that day\, followed by Aykroyd for a Blues Brothers performance. On August 15\, father and daughter share a stage again\, this time with the Atlantic Ocean just beyond the beach bar. (People.com) \nJim Belushi and the Blues\nJim Belushi’s musical career wasn’t simply an extension of playing a musician on television. \nHe spent years performing as frontman of The Sacred Hearts\, a rhythm-and-blues band associated with the House of Blues venues. With Belushi singing and playing harmonica\, the group performed dozens of dates a year at clubs\, casinos\, private events\, and festivals. (Jim Belushi) \nHis connection to the Blues Brothers came naturally\, although not immediately. The original duo of John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd turned their love of blues and soul into something far larger than an SNL sketch\, recording albums\, touring\, and eventually making the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers. \nYears after John’s death in 1982\, Aykroyd encouraged Jim to become part of the Blues Brothers performances. Jim initially resisted stepping into territory so closely associated with his brother\, but ultimately embraced it. He has now performed with Aykroyd as a Blues Brother for more than 25 years. (People.com) \nTheir performances have included some enormous stages. Belushi and Aykroyd opened for the Rolling Stones at Soldier Field in 2005 and performed at Toronto’s massive SARS benefit concert\, which drew hundreds of thousands of people. \nSo when Belushi steps onto the stage at Paddy’s\, he’s not an actor making a novelty appearance with a blues band. He’s been playing this music for decades. \nJami Belushi\nJami Belushi is taking a different path into the family business. \nThe singer-songwriter has been developing a country-oriented career in Nashville and released her debut single\, “Sweetheart\,” in 2025. That summer she made her large-scale concert debut at Chicago’s Windy City Smokeout country music festival. (People.com) \nHer father joined her during the performance\, but there was another surprise waiting backstage: Dan Aykroyd. Together they performed the Blues Brothers staple “Everybody Needs Somebody to Love\,” connecting Jami’s first major concert with a musical tradition stretching back to her uncle John’s performances nearly half a century earlier. \nThe Paddy’s appearance puts Jami alongside her father again\, but as a billed performer rather than a surprise guest. \nJames Montgomery and an All-Star Band\nVeteran blues singer and harmonica player James Montgomery anchors the band for the Misquamicut performance. \nMontgomery has spent decades in the New England blues scene\, both leading his own band and performing with prominent rock and blues musicians. For this show\, the lineup extends well beyond Montgomery’s regular group. \nScheduled performers include Neil Vitullo\, a Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame guitarist; David Hull\, whose career includes the Joe Perry Project; drummer Marty Richards\, who has performed with members of the J. Geils Band; guitarist George McCann; Todd Farland; and Sarah Hale Folger of Me and the Boys. \nBoston Celtics Chairman Wyc Grousbeck is also billed as a special guest. \nWith that many musicians sharing the stage\, the evening is set up more like an all-star blues revue than a conventional concert with one singer and a backing band. \nBlues on Misquamicut Beach\nThe setting should make this one particularly unusual. \nPaddy’s Beach Restaurant and Beach Bar sits directly on Misquamicut Beach\, putting the performance along the Atlantic shoreline rather than inside a traditional theater or club. \nThe music begins at 8 p.m. and is scheduled to run until 11 p.m. \nGiven the combination of Belushi\, Montgomery\, Jami Belushi\, and a large group of veteran musicians\, audiences should expect a collaborative show where the lineup can shift as different performers step forward. \nEvent Details\nDate\nSaturday\, August 15\, 2026 \nTime\n8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m. \nLocation\nPaddy’s Beach Restaurant and Beach Bar \nAddress\n159 Atlantic Avenue\nWesterly\, RI 02891 \nFeatured Performers\nJim Belushi\nJami Belushi\nJames Montgomery Band\nNeil Vitullo\nTodd Farland\nDavid Hull\nGeorge McCann\nMarty Richards\nSarah Hale Folger\nSpecial guest Wyc Grousbeck \nSetting\nLive beachfront performance at Misquamicut Beach. \nRefund Policy\nNo refunds. \nImportant Notes\nThe performance features a large collaborative lineup of blues and rock musicians. Individual appearances and lineup details are subject to change. \nMore Information\nFor more information\, visit the event website using the Event Website link below. \nFor ticket purchases\, click on the Ticketing link below. \n\n

SUMMARY:Wicked Peach at the Windjammer
DESCRIPTION:Wicked Peach at the Windjammer brings one of southeastern Connecticut’s longest-running rock cover bands back to Misquamicut Beach on Saturday\, August 15. The New London-based group takes the stage at 9 p.m. for a free 21+ show at the Windjammer Surf Bar\, combining three decades of local history with a late-summer Saturday night directly along the Rhode Island shoreline. (Wicked Peach) \nWicked Peach isn’t a newcomer working its way onto the local circuit. The band dates back to 1996 and has spent 30 years playing clubs\, casinos\, festivals\, town concerts and beach venues across Connecticut and Rhode Island. Its current calendar still stretches from Mystic and New London to Block Island\, Mohegan Sun and venues across the state. (Bandsintown) \nThe Windjammer is familiar territory for the band\, too. Wicked Peach has played the Misquamicut venue repeatedly\, including earlier appearances during the 2026 season. The August 15 show is another chance to catch them in one of the settings that fits the band particularly well: a crowded beach bar on a Saturday night with three hours of rock ahead. (Shazam) \nAbout Wicked Peach\nWicked Peach describes itself as a rock\, pop-rock and rock-hits cover band\, but its longevity is probably the more interesting part of the story. \nThe group has been part of the southeastern Connecticut and Rhode Island music scene since 1996\, making Wicked Peach a familiar name to generations of local bar and concert audiences. The band’s hometown is listed as New London\, and it continues to maintain a heavy regional performance schedule. \nThe core lineup features Ernie Lewis on lead vocals and guitar\, Stan Smith on bass and Jonathan Souza on drums. Guitarists Dan Watson and Corey Carter alternate with the group\, giving Wicked Peach a guitar-heavy lineup suited to the rock catalog it performs. (Wicked Peach) \nWicked Peach official website \nWhat You’ll Hear\nThis is a cover band rather than a tribute act devoted to one artist or decade. \nWicked Peach builds its shows around recognizable rock and pop-rock songs\, which gives the band considerably more room to move through different eras during a set. The emphasis is on songs built for a live crowd rather than obscure album cuts. \nThe band calls what it does a “full-on rock show\,” and its schedule reflects that approach. Wicked Peach regularly moves between nightclubs and bars\, outdoor town concerts\, festivals and casino stages\, including the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun. \nA Local Band with Staying Power\nThirty years is a long run for any working band\, particularly one built around the New England club circuit. \nWicked Peach has remained active by doing something deceptively difficult: keeping familiar music entertaining for people who may have heard many of these songs hundreds of times before. \nIts 2026 schedule gives some idea of how established the group remains locally. Shows include stops in Mystic\, Groton\, Niantic\, North Stonington and New London\, along with Block Island\, the Wolf Den and multiple Rhode Island appearances. (Wicked Peach) \nFor longtime southeastern Connecticut music fans\, there’s a good chance Wicked Peach isn’t a band they need introduced. For everyone else\, the Windjammer show offers a pretty appropriate first encounter. \nRock Music on Misquamicut Beach\nWindjammer Surf Bar sits at 321 Atlantic Avenue\, directly along Misquamicut Beach. \nThe seasonal beach bar and restaurant combines indoor and outdoor dining with an oceanfront patio and a regular schedule of live entertainment during the summer. Wicked Peach has become part of that schedule\, returning for multiple performances at the venue. (Eventbrite) \nThe band’s August 15 performance is listed as free admission and 21+. (Bandsintown) \nMake a Night of It\nWith a 9 p.m. start\, there’s plenty of time to arrive earlier for dinner\, drinks or an evening on Misquamicut Beach before the band starts. \nThe Windjammer operates as a full restaurant and bar in addition to its live-music venue\, with seafood and casual beach fare on the menu. On a summer Saturday\, however\, the Misquamicut area can get busy\, so leaving extra time for traffic and parking is a good idea. \nThen at 9\, Wicked Peach takes over. \nEvent Details\nDate\nSaturday\, August 15\, 2026 \nTime\n9:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. \nLocation\nWindjammer Surf Bar \nAddress\n321 Atlantic Ave.\nWesterly\, RI 02891 \nAdmission\nFree \nAge Restriction\n21+ \nEntertainment\nWicked Peach \nMusic\nRock\, pop-rock and rock favorites \nBand\nErnie Lewis – Lead vocals/guitar\nStan Smith – Bass\nJonathan Souza – Drums\nDan Watson/Corey Carter – Guitar \nParking\nFree parking is listed for Wicked Peach performances at the Windjammer. \nImportant Notes\nThis is a late-night beach-bar performance. The band is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. The Windjammer’s summer weekends can be busy\, so allow additional time for arrival and parking. \nMore Information\nFor more information\, visit the event website using the Event Website link below. \n  \n\n

SUMMARY:Nick Bosse at the Windjammer
DESCRIPTION:Nick Bosse at the Windjammer brings the North Stonington country singer-songwriter to Misquamicut Beach on Sunday\, August 16\, for three hours of live music overlooking the Atlantic. Bosse performs from 1 to 4 p.m.\, right in the middle of the Windjammer Surf Bar’s regular summer afternoon music hours. \nIt’s a natural setting for one of Bosse’s smaller-format shows. Instead of the full stage production of Nick Bosse & The Northern Roots\, this Sunday performance puts him at one of the shoreline’s longtime summer music spots\, where the patio opens toward the beach and the soundtrack competes with waves rolling in a few yards away. \nThe timing makes it easy to build the music into a beach day rather than planning an entire evening around a concert. The Windjammer Surf Bar opens at 11 a.m. during its 2026 season\, with food and drinks available before and during the afternoon performance. \nAbout Nick Bosse\nBosse is a North Stonington native\, award-winning singer-songwriter and Nashville recording artist whose music pulls from classic country\, outlaw country\, Southern rock and bluegrass. \nHis influences range from Merle Haggard to Tyler Childers\, and that gives his music a noticeably traditional streak. The songs lean toward storytelling\, working-class country and the rougher edges of the genre rather than polished country-pop. (CTvisit) \nBosse began playing local cover gigs before forming The Northern Roots with drummer John Spaulding in 2014. The full band grew to include musicians playing lead guitar\, fiddle\, pedal steel\, upright bass\, banjo\, mandolin and harmonica\, giving Bosse a way to move between traditional country\, bluegrass and Southern rock. (Wailing City) \nHis breakout song\, “What Happened to Country\,” has now passed 2 million streams\, while his regional career has grown to include performances at Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun and a New England Music Award. \nA Familiar Face at the Windjammer\nThis isn’t Bosse’s first afternoon at the Windjammer. \nHe performed there as recently as July 12\, part of a summer calendar that keeps live musicians rotating through the oceanfront venue. \nSunday’s billing is simply Nick Bosse\, rather than Nick Bosse & The Northern Roots\, making this a more intimate performance than the full-band show at Preston Ridge Vineyard the night before. \nThat’s a pretty good two-day snapshot of Bosse’s local career. Saturday night\, he’s leading his band at a vineyard. By Sunday afternoon\, he’s back near the Rhode Island shoreline playing a beach bar. \nLive Music Steps from Misquamicut Beach\nThe Windjammer has been part of the Misquamicut summer scene for generations. \nIt’s housed within Atlantic Beach Park\, which traces its history to 1921 and remains owned and operated by the Trefes family. Originally called Atlantic Beach Casino\, the property developed as a place where families could swim\, gather along the boardwalk and spend a summer day beside the ocean. \nToday\, the Windjammer combines that old beach-park setting with an oceanfront restaurant\, bar and live music venue. \nIts large patio sits directly beside the Atlantic\, with tables\, umbrellas and Adirondack chairs outside. During the summer\, live music is scheduled on the patio from 1 to 5 p.m.\, making Bosse’s 1 p.m. start part of a tradition rather than a one-off concert setup. \nThe indoor Surf Bar adds another 1\,000 square feet\, including a 30-seat bar\, surfing décor and a sound and lighting system used for entertainment throughout the season. \nMake It a Beach Afternoon\nThis is one of those shows where the venue changes the experience. \nArrive earlier and spend some time at Misquamicut. Come in from the beach for lunch. Or skip the sand altogether and grab a spot on the patio for the music. \nThe Windjammer serves seafood and casual beach food\, with New England staples including clam fritters\, clam chowder and lobster bisque\, along with sandwiches\, burgers and other pub fare. There’s a full bar for adults as well. \nFamilies also have Atlantic Beach Park’s arcade nearby\, and the Windjammer’s daytime restaurant and patio are family-friendly. \nFor Bosse\, whose songs reach backward toward the country music he grew up admiring\, it’s about as informal a concert setting as you can find: Sunday afternoon\, guitar in hand\, Atlantic Ocean behind him. \nEvent Details\nDate: Sunday\, August 16\, 2026 \nTime: 1:00–4:00 p.m. \nPerformer: Nick Bosse \nLocation: Windjammer Surf Bar at Atlantic Beach Park \nAddress: 321 Atlantic Avenue\, Westerly\, RI 02891 \nArea: Misquamicut Beach \nMusic: Country\, outlaw country\, Southern rock and bluegrass influences \nSetting: Oceanfront restaurant\, bar and patio directly beside Misquamicut Beach \nFood & Drinks: Full restaurant and bar service available \nPhone: (401) 322-0504 \nMore Information\nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \n  \n\n
