On Monday, Artpark & Company officially named M&T Bank as presenting sponsor of the award-winning "Tuesdays in the Park" concerts for the 2018 season. The 12-week series runs from June 12 through Aug. 28.
"As a longstanding supporter of so many Artpark programs and performances over the years, M&T Bank is delighted to be the presenting sponsor of Artpark's 2018 'Tuesdays in the Park' concert series," said Shelley C. Drake, president, The M&T Charitable Foundation. "We look forward to a great summer, attracting thousands of concertgoers to this outstanding and picturesque venue that is one of our region's foremost cultural assets."
Artpark & Company officials said the "Tuesdays in the Park" concert series has surpassed other Western New York regional programs, summer events, festivals and music series in the quality of performances and the annual growth in attendance over the event's 16-year run.
The 12-concert season features a diverse weekly lineup of music legends, and is presented at the scenic Artpark Outdoor Amphitheater overlooking the Niagara River Gorge in historic Lewiston. In past years, the popular series has welcomed an international list of performers to the stage, including Aretha Franklin, Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band, Peter Frampton, Doobie Brothers, Chicago, Sheryl Crow, Daryl Hall & Joan Oates, Pat Benatar, ZZ Top, Melissa Etheridge, Heart, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Idol, Steve Miller Band, Blondie and Cheap Trick.
Artpark Executive Director Sonia Clark said, "M&T Bank has such a rich history of investing in the arts in WNY, standing behind Artpark's growth of diverse programming, including many musical productions and Buffalo Philharmonic concerts, and most recently international tours by Bale de Rua's 'Baila Brazil' and Plasticiens Volants' 'Big Bang.' We could not be more thrilled to recognize M&T Bank as the now presenting sponsor of our most coveted concert series, 'Tuesdays in the Park.' "
Concerts announced for the "TIP" series include Barenaked Ladies with Better Than Ezra and KT Tunstall (July 10), and Tedeschi Trucks Band with Drive-By Truckers and The Marcus King Band (July 17).
