That means walks, picnics, ice cream, and of course, lots of outdoor music. In Bryn Mawr that means the Bryn Mawr Twilight Concert Series. And this year that means the return of legendary Philadelphia area blues band, The Dukes of Destiny, June 3. The Dukes played in last year’s concert series and are back again, a fact that pleases Dukes’ leader John Colgan-Davis immensely: “We love playing outdoor gigs. There is something about the power of the music to join people together that comes across especially well in an outdoor setting, and the Bryn Mawr Gazebo has long been one of my favorite spots to watch and to make music,” he said. “We are happy and excited to be back at this great venue.” The Dukes have had a lot of outdoor and other types of gigs over the years. They have been around for some thirty years playing clubs, festivals, and concerts all over the TriState area. A six-piece blues and old school soul band, they feature 5 strong instrumentalists and 6 vocalists.

On Sunday, June 12, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., Morris Arboretum will host a STEAMpunk Expo, where mad science of the industrial age meets romantic Victoriana. Through family workshops, artistic performances, and lectures, visitors may explore this genre of science fiction, fashion and lifestyle inspired by 19th century industrial steam-powered machinery to create an alternative history. Shown are steampunk enthusiasts, Chelsea Melvin and Bryan Thompson-Nowak, touring the Arboretum’s Victorian fernery, built in 1899. It stands today as a historical time piece documenting the British obsession with ferns and glasshouses. Home of the only remaining freestanding Victorian fernery Photo/Marie Ingegneri in North America, Morris Arboretum’s 92-acre garden is the ideal location to explore the genre of science fiction, fashion and lifestyle inspired by 19th century industrial steam-powered machinery to create an alternative history. Learn about this fascinating sub-culture through STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and math) related family workshops, artistic performances, and lectures.
