Crash Test Dummies to take stage earlier tonight due to impending weather

UPDATE: Due to expected inclement weather, the Crash Test Dummies will now take the Village Green Amphitheatre stage at 6 p.m.

Groovin’ on the Green, Fairfield’s summer concert series, continues with well-known names on its schedule, and that includes this week’s band, the Crash Test Dummies.

The concert series is taking place on select Thursday evenings throughout the summer at Village Green Park. Upcoming shows include Forever Diamond on Aug. 3, Steven Page, formerly of Barenaked Ladies on Aug. 17 and The Fortunate Sons on Aug. 31.

The summer concert season has featured a variety of musical genres, including pop, rock and classic rock to country, and more.

“With the bands we have coming in, we’ve really tried to reach out to a broad audience. The community is really going to be excited,” said David Sheldrick, marketing specialist for the City of Fairfield. “This is a great way to bring the community together, and there is going to be something fun for all ages,” Sheldrick said earlier this summer. “There will music, games, food, and we’ll be Groovin’ all summer long.”

Crash Test Dummies was a popular band in the U.S. in 1990s and is best known for its top hits, “Superman’s Song” and “Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm”. It had even more success in Canada.

Food trucks at Thursday’s show include City Belle Fried Pies, Granny’s Goodies On the Go, MamaBear’s Mac & Cheese and Sweets and Meats BBQ.

“We really put a lot of work into making this fun for the entire community. We have seniors that come week after week, and families put it on their calendars and bring their kids. So, it’s an amazing night out for everybody,” Sheldrick said.
