Black Opry (Country)

WXPN’s Black Opry Residency is about to shake up the Country scene like never before! Celebrating the rich heritage of Black Americana musicians, this groundbreaking residency is reclaiming their rightful place in the American musical canon. From country to blues, folk to gospel, Black Opry is the home for Black artists, fans, and industry professionals making waves in the roots music scene. Get ready to witness the true diversity and depth of Americana music with Black Opry leading

Since 2018, the free, family-friendly, 10-week music series has transformed River Island Art Park into a cultural hub of entertainment on Friday evenings. With goals of amplifying community pride, enriching lives through the power of free, live music, and creating vibrant public places, the work we do fosters tourism, enhances the resident experience, and is a point of pride for the City.

Over the last few years, the Levitt AMP Woonsocket Music Series has become the place to be on Friday nights. Residents have personally told me that they consider it to be the best arts event they attend all summer!”
