Music Downtown: Christopher Roberts | Peace Plaza
Originally from Southeastern Wisconsin, I’ve called Rochester home since 2012. Though most of my music effort in the Rochester area has been through creating music events and promoting other artists, I’m thrilled to shift gears. These days, I’m embracing more of my own live performances and connection with others through the music experience. When not playing solo, I’m rocking out with my band Backup Sound System, belting out ’90s classics.
Music Downtown brings live music to the Peace Plaza and other downtown locations, encouraging passers by to enjoy the music of local artists over weekday lunch and happy hours, and Friday evening concerts on Historic Third Street.
This program is presented by Rochester Downtown Alliance with support from Mayo Clinic, Altra Federal Credit Union, Olmsted Medical Center. The series is coordinated by John Sievers and Threshold Arts.
