Summer Concerts on the Square
Residual Groove
Enjoy free, live music every Thursday in June, July, and August!
The Mansfield Downtown Partnership’s 2026 Summer Concerts on the Square continue with Residual Groove!
Residual Groove is a five-piece indie-jam band from Southern Connecticut that has quickly carved out a rising presence on the modern jam landscape through fearless creativity and locked-in musical chemistry. Blending psychedelic funk rock and thoughtful indie-reminiscent songwriting, the band thrives at the intersection of structure and spontaneity, where carefully crafted songs open into expansive, playful jams and seamless, improv-driven segues.
