Starting July 16, 8 p.m., music lovers can come and enjoy the soul-stirring melodies and toe tapping grooves of Dana Marie Battaglia whose music promises to take you on an emotional roller coaster. Opening for Battaglia will be Sound Refuge who has been compared to Sufjan Stevens, Joel Plaskett and Sam Roberts.
