The Voice alum Ryan Quinn to perform at View in Old Forge: What you need to know

Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Quinn will perform a free concert at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 3, at View, the Center for Arts and Culture in Old Forge, as part of its Concert in the Courtyard series.

Quinn is known for his appearance on the hit television show “The Voice” where he received a prestigious four-chair turn and was coached by Adam Levine, Tori Kelly, Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera. Because of his four-octave vocal range and wide array of influences, Quinn is able to seamlessly transition between musical genres.

All Concerts in the Courtyard happen rain or shine, with a possible relocation to View’s Gould Hall during inclement weather. Chairs will be provided, but concertgoers can bring their own or a blanket. The following week's concert is Gwen and Jim Tracy, opened by The Interns.

Admission to the Concerts in the Courtyard series is free but donations will be accepted. A cash bar will be available at all performances.
