SHELTON - Celebrate Shelton creators Nicole Mikula, Michael Skrtic, and Jimmy Tickey have scheduled a one-night, virtual Downtown Sounds Summer Concert at 5 p.m. July 17.

The evening will kick-off with Kids Hour with Danny Magic, followed by live music from Phat A$tronaut, The Alpaca Gnomes, and other performers to be announced.
Hailing from New Haven, Phat A$tronaut is an organically grown, experimental soul ensemble that certainly won’t disappoint.

The Alpaca Gnomes is a vibrant, foot-stomping seven-piece original rock/folk/jam band out of Bridgeport consisting of violin, electric and acoustic guitar/vocals, bass, drums, percussion and saxophone.

The four-hour livestream can be found LIVE on Celebrate Shelton’s Facebook page (@CelebrateShelton) and on bit.ly/CelebrateSheltonLIVE at 5 p.m. July 17.

This event is made possible by Liberty Bank, Tuttle Insurance, MKDEVO Productions, Center Stage Theatre, the City of Shelton, Gardner Heights, Hawks Ridge of Shelton, D'Addario of Shelton, Curtis Ryan Honda of Shelton, Marks of Design, Cohen & Thomas, Christopher Douglas, Venmo & Co., and the Boys Scouts of America Housatonic Council.

Celebrate Shelton was formed in 2014 by small business owners Nicole Mikula, Michael Skrtic and Jimmy Tickey. 

The organization focuses on community arts engagement in Shelton and over the last six years has hosted Downtown Sounds Summer Concerts, Food Trucks on the River, Mamas & Mimosas, and the annual Community Tree Lighting. 

This year, in light of COVID-19, the group developed a Virtual Downtown Sounds Concert in place of their usual three-week concert series. 

Celebrate Shelton events are free and family-friendly. For more information, visit CelebrateShelton.com.
