Murphys, CA…The BabyBacks are a five-member band playing throughout Calaveras County and featured for September 1st First Friday concert in Murphys Park. Murphys Community Club sponsors the concerts in the Park. The BabyBacks are a dance band with a huge repertoire, spanning the 1940’s to the 2000’s. We play blues, rock, Motown, swing, jazz, funk and even a little country swing – we love playing a little something for everyone, says Jenny Roland and are happy to be back in Murphys Park.

From June to September, First Fridays in the Park have featured a performance by a local musical group playing by the familiar gazebo starting at 5:30 p.m. Starting at 5 p.m., a pulled pork dinner with tasty sides will be available on site from Murphys Historic Hotel for purchase at $15.00 per person and featured local wines from Indian Rock and Boyle Macdonald will be on sale along with other beverages. Friends and neighbors are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and enjoy a small town America gathering in the cool confines of Murphys Community Park.

This is the last First Friday concert in the Murphys Park for 2023.
