PITTSFIELD — Hot Plate Brewing Co., in partnership with Downtown Pittsfield Inc. and a collection of other Pittsfield-based businesses, announced the Pitt, a brand-new, 10-week, free concert series set to energize Dunham Mall.

Running weekly on Fridays from 6 to 8 p.m. for 10 weeks, the Pitt will showcase a dynamic lineup of musical acts hailing from Montreal, Boston, the Pioneer Valley, and the Berkshires. From indie rock and soul to emerging electronic artists, this series will celebrate both regional talent and international artistry, right in the heart of downtown Pittsfield, starting June 13.

In addition to the music, concertgoers can enjoy local food and drink offerings. Hot Plate Brewing Co. will host a beer garden, and Handcrafted, a new, Pittsfield-based restaurant, will serve up a variety of food.

“This series is all about showcasing independent artists and artisans and bringing some new energy to our downtown community,” Hot Plate co-founder Mike Dell’Aquila said. “We’re thrilled to bring this caliber of talent and culture to Dunham Mall.”
