For
the past four summers MainStage Productions has worked with the
Hudson River Park Trust in conceptualizing and producing the highly
successful concert series, Hudson River Rocks.
With the sky as the ceiling, the sunset as the spotlight and the Hudson as a background, Pier 54 is one of the best places to experience the summer nights of your future nostalgia. From garage rattle to flickering rhymes, fat chunks of funk to moody pools of electronica, there’s a broad line-up of bands, a fashionable swarm of fans and enough good vibes to keep the pier afloat for years to come.
Working closely with Hudson River Park Trust, MainStage Productions
coordinates all aspects of these events.
For more information or if you are interested in sponsoring Hudson
River Rocks, please contact

“Last
summer Hudson River Rocks brought some admirably cool acts to Pier
54, like the White Stripes, the Mooney Suzuki and the Waco Brothers,
making it, in the evolution of summer concert series, a smaller, quicker
mammal to SummerStage’s by now lumbering dinosaur. The second
season of free concerts starts up Sunday June 9th at 5pm with the
funky Venezuelan’s Los Amigos Invisibles, the arty groove collective
Thunderball, DJ Angola and local R & B rockers the Rummies. That’s
the kind of intelligent bill SummerStage used to be capable of, half
a dozen summers ago. And you can’t beat the waterfront setting.”
