July 28th – “The Sal Alberico Big Band” – Recalling the music of the 40s, this group brings to the stage the big band, swing, and Latin sounds of times gone by.
August 4th – “Fab Cats” – The days of the British Invasion of the 60s will be revisited by these musicians, taking us back to summers of flower power and love.
August 11th – “Easy Money” – This brand-new big band does “a little bit of everything,” from Count Basie and Duke Ellington to more modern pop music.
August 18th – “Jasiu Klocek and the Salt City Brass” – Put on your dancing shoes for this brass band, as they get the crowd moving with their polkas, swing, and Latin music.
August 25th – “Matt Chase and Thunder Canyon” – The season comes to a thunderous end with the modern country and oldies rock ‘n’ roll of these perennial Sherrill stars, and make sure you stay to the end for their heartfelt patriotic tribute.
Remember to mark your calendar for the City’s annual fabulous fireworks display over the gazebo on Saturday July 25th (July 26th in case of inclement weather). This year the display will be preceded by a concert with “Small Town Big Band”. Featuring mostly big band era music plus more recent tunes done in a big band style, this 15-piece group features members from all walks of life who have a mutual enjoyment of creating music together. Please note that this Fireworks concert begins at 7:30 p.m.
