NEW MILFORD — Incredible Amplifiers will play at Hunt Hill on June 2 in associatio­n with Veracious Brewery as part of Brews & Blues concert with food and Veracious beer. This event pairs two classic favorites — beer and blues — to celebrate the power of music to bring people together and focus on our common humanity rather than the difference­s that set us apart said a news release from organizers.

Hunt Hill Farm is a nonprofit dedicated to bringing experience­s to the local community across food, art and music. The Brews & Blues concert will start at 7 p.m for $20 a ticket, which supports its music programs. Advanced seating can be purchased at http://hunthillfa­rm.org/
