The Parkville Sessions reignites vibrant music culture in Hartford, CT, by transforming our historic bakery-turned-music studio into a dynamic, immersive space for world-class live performances. We invite audiences to step into a recording studio experience like no other—an intimate setting where you sit in the first two rows, fully immersed in the music. The proximity to the artists creates a direct and personal connection, amplifying the energy of each performance and offering a unique encounter with live music.
The magic of The Parkville Sessions lies in its ability to merge the intimacy of NPR's Tiny Desk concerts with the artistic caliber of New York City’s Blue Note Jazz Club. With each session professionally recorded and broadcast on YouTube, these performances don’t just stay within the walls of the studio— they extend to global audiences, making Hartford a destination for music lovers worldwide.
