NORWICH — The NBT Bank Free Summer Concert Series continues Thursday, July 18 with a performance by The Iguanas at 7 p.m. in East Park in Norwich.

The Iguanas have been a part of the music scene in New Orleans for more than two decades, with their eclectic sound that combines multiple facets of America's musical heritage: Tejano and Conjunto sounds from the Texas/Mexico border region; the American South's blues, jazz, and New Orleans R&B; and music of the Caribbean and Mexico.

According to their website, Iguanas.com, "The Iguanas redefine the notion of Americana, crossing cultures, styles, eras... and even languages. It's as if Rue Bourbon, Muscle Shoals and Plaza de Mexico were all within earshot of each other and The Iguanas were the musical conduit between them."

Both the band and individual members have performed or recorded with musicians ranging from Charlie Rich, Alex Chilton, and Willy DeVille to Emmylou Harris, Allen Toussaint, and Pretty Lights. Their music has also been featured in movies and television shows.

The Iguanas includes members Rod Hodges, Joe Cabral, René Coman and Doug Garrison.
