Get ready for another year of great music in the outdoors with our 9^th annual Summer Concert Series!

This outdoor concert series sponsored by Stifel Investment Services is held every other Sunday in the summer, and features a variety of bands and performers that play Americana, bluegrass, folk, old-time, and more. Bring a lawn chair or a picnic blanket and sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

This year’s series kicks off on June 1 with Devin C. Williams, a singer-songwriter from the Springfield area. Devin’s soulful style is rooted in Delta Blues, but he also creates his own path that’s sure to please all listeners.

On June 15, Celtic Whistle will take the stage again to delight us with some Irish music and lovely harmonies, complete with flutes, accordions, and banjos.

Returning to the lineup after several years is Rylie Bourne, who will perform on June 29. Rylie is from Central Illinois but currently based in Nashville, and is known for her signature, smooth voice delivering country and bluegrass tunes.

Another returning favorite, on July 13 the Hood Family Band will take the stage. This talented family plays folk, Americana, and bluegrass tunes, complete with beautiful harmonies.

The Magnolia Janes will take the stage on July 27. This acoustic duo blends string arrangements with acoustic guitar, and experimental synth sounds with classic rock.

Rounding out the series, Nick Dittmeier & the Sawdusters will join us on August 10. This group plays a creative blend of Americana, country, and Southern rock, and is sure to please.

Each performance begins at 7pm and will be held near the pavilions at Rock Springs Conservation Area. Snacks will be available for purchase. All concerts are free, and in the event of rain, we will move indoors.

We can’t wait for this year’s lineup, and we hope to see you there!
