Marietta's Brown Bag Lunchtime Concerts Return in May - Free Midday Music at Glover ParkSource: City of Marietta

Workaholics of Marietta, rejoice! The Brown Bag Lunchtime Concerts are making a comeback, offering the perfect escape from your cubicle confines. Marietta Parks, Recreation & Facilities have cued up a roster of midday musical treats set to play out on Glover Park stage come this May. Music aficionados can leave the packed lunches at home as downtown Marietta's eateries stand ready to fill bellies before tunes fill ears - every Thursday for a month, starting May 2.

Confirmed by Marietta officials, the concerts are pocket-friendly - read: free - and promise to jazz up your routine from 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m. Just pull up a patch of grass and let the melodies take over. By the way, if you're one to flap your gums about missed opportunities, this is a shot at redemption; the series will encore in September. The opener for the May lineup is Bottoms Up, a name that seems perfect for a tipple, but you'll be intoxicated by their music instead.

If you fancy a music-filled lunch hour, here's the lowdown for May: Bottoms Up leads on May 2, followed by Aidan Fisher's cadence on May 9. Imagine Brass Band trumpets in on May 16, with Alex Boyer strumming into hearts on May 23. Finally, Mikaela Ayira wraps the series on May 30 with what I reckon will be a memorable performance. For those who live and breathe logistics, the shindigs are situated at Glover Park on the Historic Marietta Square, 50 N Park Square Marietta, GA 30060.

For the specifics, including any schedule tweaks or weather-related updates, the good folks over at Marietta's official website have got your back, so you won't miss a beat. Don't sit this one out; make a beeline for Glover Park and soak up some mellow tunes under the Georgia sun. It's not every day you get to enjoy a soundtrack with your sandwich, so why not play hooky from the microwave and catch a live show instead - just don't forget to thank me when you're feeling all kinds of relaxed post-concert. After all, it's your lunch hour; you might as well dance through it.
