UTICA — The sixth season of the nationally-funded Levitt AMP Utica Music Series will conclude on Monday, Aug. 29, at Kopernik Park on Eagle and Genesee streets.

The Zz Trio will open the show at 6 p.m. followed by EhShawnee at 7:30 p.m.

Shawnee Taveras is a Dominican-American singer-songwriter from Providence, Rhode Island, who brings the heat to the stage with high energy salsa and a multi-faceted band that provides a layered sound that’s impossible not to dance to. In 2019, Taveras was awarded the Premio Conga de la Salsa in the Dominican Republic for best new musical act. She has had top 10 singles in the Dominican Republic and has toured extensively in that country as well as on the US East coast. She is a media personality at Telemundo in Providence. 

The Levitt AMP Utica series is a free, family-friendly, non-alcoholic, welcoming environment.

The concerts are sponsored in part by the Mortimer & Mimi Levitt Foundation, a national funder of creative placemaking that empowers communities to inject new life into underused public spaces through free, outdoor concerts.
