Broken Arrow: Tuesday, August 4th at 7:00 p.m.

You might recognize this group of musicians from their frequent, and very popular gigs at the South Lyon Hotel. Partial to blues and rock, the veterman professionals of Broken Arrow cover a range of artists from B.B. King to Jimi Hendrix and are sure to play some of your favorite tunes.

Come spend a high-energy evening with this incredibly innovative band under the stars.

Seven Bridges: Tuesday, August 18th at 7:00 p.m.

The local residents that make up Seven Bridges have been playing together since the fall of 2002. This three-member ensemble play a mix of classic rock and country as well as originals. Their first CD, recorded in 2006, is hopefully just the start to many more.

Seven Bridges draws its influences from the likes of the Eagles, Sara Evans, CSN, Brad Paisley, Martina McBride as well as many more. Join them in the park for a mellow night of familiar and new music on the gazebo.
