Free Live Music!

A Frugalicious Reader brought this one to my attention:



The Coulon Family Concert series at the Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park in Renton, (You boaters out there know EXACTLY where that is!) is completely free and family-friendly. This series features live music every Wednesday night from now until August 13. The bands range from Bluegrass to Jazz to Big Band to Beatles medleys. The Celtic band, Craicmore, will be playing July 23, and since I'm a sucker for the Scots, you better believe I will be there.

If Kent is closer to home for you, then the Kent Summer Concert Series is the place to be. These concerts take place at Kent Station, Lake Meridian Park, and Town Square Park, and they range from comedy acts to jazz/blues to Celtic acoustic rock to intricate puppet acts. See http://www.ci.kent.wa.us/arts/page.aspx?id=2972 for the full calendar.

And if Auburn is your city of residence, then try the Shades of Summer concerts, Wednesday nights at 7 PM through August 6th at the Game Farm Park Len Chapman Amphitheater. The tribute band, The New Blues Brothers, will be playing July 30th. The city of Auburn also hosts the Kids Summerstage at Les Grove Park, Wednesdays at noon, through August 13th, featuring jugglers, magicians, and Cap'n ARR, whom I assume is a pirate. For the detailed schedules of either concert series in Auburn, see http://www.auburnwa.gov/arts/summer_concerts.asp.
