There's a lot more music to come this summer. The concerts take place Sundays from 4:00 - 6:00 PM at the north fountain in Nichols Park, just south of 53rd Street between Kenwood and Kimbark. Just follow the sound. The schedule:

August 9 - Vance Kelly and the Backstreet Blues Band

August 16 - Walter Scott

August 23 - Super Percy

August 30 - Vance Kelly and the Backstreet Blues Band

September 6 - Curtis Black Quartet

September 13 - Akasha

September 20 - Julia Huff-Heath and the Company Band

September 27 - (to be announced)
Sponsored by the Nichols Park Advisory Council and a long list of local businesses to which we are grateful. George and Stephanie Franklin started the series years ago, and an able young chap named Ted, whose last name I didn't catch, appears now to have taken it onboard.
