Celebrate summer with live music in the park.
Boone County Public Library and Boone County Parks Department are partnering once again to bring free concerts to Boone County Parks.
The summer concert series kicks off with Swingtime at Boone Woods Park, 6000 Veteran’s Way in Burlington, on Saturday, June 11 at 7 p.m. This full-size big band plays swing classics, smooth jazz, and big band ballads, waltzes and Broadway.
Rolling Stone Tribute Show: Tumbling Dice takes the audience on a tour-de-force through the Rolling Stones legendary catalog at Boone Woods Park on Saturday, June 18 at 7 p.m. The band is led by its very own version of The Gilmore Twins – Guy along with guitarist and musical director Dennis Lyons. Never contrived, never choreographed and always a wild ride!
Tony Burlingame pays tribute to Paul McCartney on Saturday, July 23 at Boone Woods Park at 7 p.m. with The McCartney Project: Paul McCartney Tribute Band. Each song replicates the authentic, iconic sound of Paul McCartney’s music and Burlingame bears an uncanny resemblance to Sir Paul. His voice, mannerisms and left-handed bass playing along with the very talented McCartney Project hand delivers the ultimate McCartney experience.
In the event of inclement weather, the rain site for all of the outdoor concerts is Boone County Public Library, Main Library, 1786 Burlington Pike, in Burlington. The exception is Saffire Express, which will move to Walton Verona High School. If rain begins after 5 p.m., there may not be enough time to move the concert indoors. Call the Parks hotline at 334-2283 for weather updates.
