Summer Concert Magic

Where does the time go? This time last year I was lying in the sun, finishing up a thesis and planning a wedding. Now I’m a working, married gal gone pale from lack of outdoor recreation. Although I’m currently comparison-shopping for a kayak, (my co-workers are urging me to actually try kayaking first), summertime is happening, whether I can partake or not.

However, all can partake in the Erwin Center’s summer concert line-up starting with iconic folksters Simon & Garfunkel (July 6). July continues the frenzied entertainment pace with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus (July 8-11), Sarah McLachlan (July 23).

And August is jam-packed with rock, pop and Monsters. Legendary rock band Boston (August 14), pop princess Hilary Duff (August 18) and Disney on IceSM Presents Disney/Pixar’s Mosnters, Inc. (August 26-29) are in town to provide classic rock, pure pop and family fun.

Wrapping up the summer festivities in September are Metallica (September 3) and Incubus (September 15). So let’s grab our kayak paddles (or whatever those thingies are called) and savor the summer!
