The City of St. Louis Park, in collaboration with the St. Louis Park Rotary Club, is inviting the community to bask in the sounds of summer with their free annual Summer Concert Series. Kicking off this medley of musical treats on Wednesday, July 2, from 7 to 8:30 pm is The Beatnik Brothers, promising a nostalgic evening at Veterans' Memorial Amphitheater located at 3700 Monterey Drive. Not even Mother Nature can dampen this melody-packed event, as you can check for inclement weather updates and concert status by calling 952.924.2567, ensuring that you won't miss a beat.
Transporting listeners back to a time of vinyl and vivacity, The Beatnik Brothers will belt out classics from a lineup of legendary artists such as The Beatles, Elvis, Paul Simon, The Eagles, Jim Croce, and others. While the echoes of the past fill the air, listeners can drop their daily troubles for a tune-infused reprieve. Certainly, fans of music's golden era will find their hearts skipping a beat or two, enveloped by the rich tributes crafted by the talented ensemble. Information about the event, well-prepared especially for the community's enjoyment, is readily available at the summer concerts webpage.
But the sonic journey doesn't stop there. An impressive array of styles and performers is set to grace the amphitheater stage throughout the summer. Upcoming acts include Bossa Soul on July 9, delivering their blend of jazz and Latin rhythms, while the Classical Actor Ensemble will take you back in time with bard-inspired performances on July 11. Salsa Del Soul will bring the heat with some salsa rhythms on July 16, and Jeff Dayton is slated to serenade audiences with his guitar on July 19. Rounding out the month are Power of 10 with their punchy brass tunes on July 23, and the St. Louis Park Community Band will showcase local talent on July 30.
The entertainment extends into August, with performances from Lehto & Wright spinning folk-rock stories with their strings on August 6. The following week, audience members themselves become the stars in the Community Talent Show on August 13. Capping off the series is the Dan Israel Folk Festival, harmonizing the community with folk melodies on August 23. Every note of the series is set to foster community spirit and provide a high note in the city's cultural calendar. The concert series, in bringing the free and amazing talent, promises summer evenings filled with diversity in art and sound, open to all music lovers.
