The Bernadettes offer a great concert on the Derby Green

The fantastic New Haven-based R&B band The Bernadettes performed on the Derby Green Saturday during the annual Derby Day street festival. Here lead vocalist Bryan D. Kearney sings to the crowd. 

My daughter Allegra and I enjoyed relaxing on the Green and listening to The Bernadettes. I can't wait to see them perform again! It's always a great show. 

And the weather Saturday couldn't have been more perfect for an outdoor concert. 

The Bernadettes perform at the Gazebo on the Derby Green.
