The band was in the area for the arrival of the USCG Cutter Barque Eagle, which was open to the public for tours this weekend at State Pier in New Bedford.

The band was originally scheduled to play outside Town Hall, but the threat of rain moved them indoors. Hundreds of people showed up for the concert, including the Captain of Eagle, Capt. Matt Meilstrup, and at least two of his officers. Photos by Beth David.
