SUMMARY:Sample the Cat at Persip Park
DESCRIPTION:Soulful rock band\, Sample the Cat\, will perform on June 2\, 5 to 8 pm\, at Persip Park located at 175 North Street. \nSample the Cat is a rising soulful rock band from Berkshire County\, MA. Their original music captures audiences with a fusion of familiar sounds from blues\, funk\, and soul while producing a fresh rock vibe that grooves. If you were to “put the cat in the box\,” their sound could be described as if Alicia Keys sang for Foo Fighters.
