Thursday Night Live - 2026 Summer Concert Series Schedule

Each performance includes a rich mix of traditional songs,  nursery rhymes, and original music that I have written and recorded for  young audiences. Children sing, move with scarves, stretchy band,  parachute and join in simple percussion play-alongs with rhythm sticks,  shakers, tambourines and bells. Every session also features a picture  book connected to the musical theme, creating a bridge between early  literacy and music.  

Join us each week starting at 6:00 pm for live music featuring a variety of musical styles. Come on down and bring your family & friends along with your lawn chairs, and dinner and enjoy "Thursday Night Live" each week.
