"Full June Lineup for Bicentennial Park Summer Concert Series Announced."

I still favor Mix at Six, but it doesn't matter. Let's have a beer and listen to music in Rent Boy Park this summer. The eventual goal is to have NABC's Houndmouth (the beer) and Black & Blue Grass on tap for all 12 of the Friday night shows scheduled for June, July and August.

PRESS RELEASE – Full June Lineup for Bicentennial Park Summer Concert Series Announced

May 20th, 2013

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Michael Hall

Mayor Jeff M. Gahan and the City of New Albany are pleased to announce the full June lineup for the Bicentennial Park Summer Concert Series. Each show will be held on Friday nights from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. throughout the summer in historic downtown New Albany’s Bicentennial Park, located at the corner of Spring Street and Pearl Street.

June 7th – Ranger (rangertunes.bandcamp.com) with Riverboys (riverboys.bandcamp.com)

Two up and coming hometown bands will kick off the series at its opening on June 7th. Ranger will bring their original indie folk rock to Bicentennial Park, coming off their recent outstanding performance opening for local sensation Houndmouth at Iroquois Amphitheater. Ranger will be supported by fellow Southern Indiana newcomers, Riverboys.

June 14th – Lucius (ilovelucius.com)

This five-piece group from Brooklyn, NY just recently played a wildly successful set at 2013’s SXSW music festival in Austin, TX, and is bringing their own brand of Indie Pop into the heart of downtown New Albany. Their music has been described as “catchy, distinctive indiepop tunes” by Rolling Stone magazine, and the New York Times’ Paul Krugman describes them as “something special, and their songs keep rattling around in my head.” This will be Lucius’s last tour date before they play in this year’s Bonnaroo Festival in Manchester, TN.

June 21st – Ballroom Blitz (ballroomblitzdance.com)

The concept is simple: an all-star supergroup that can play anything, from the hottest Boston song to the most intricate Queen, with dance grooves stretching from the B-52s to Michael Jackson - and vocals as huge as the Bee Gees. Drawing on the richest musical era of the past century, The Blitz brings a staggering body of musical experience, creativity and energy into the moment - lighting the fire, bringing the magic back.

June 28th – Quiet Hollers (quiethollers.com)

Based in Louisville, KY, Quiet Hollers have found their niche following a paradigm shift in musical direction from Hardcore Punk to Roots and Americana. They have forged a brand of Roots music equally reminiscent of Springsteen and the Replacements as it is Townes Van Zandt or Uncle Tupelo, yet still with a sound all their own. Their talent with many instruments allows members to shift between vocals, guitar, bass, mandolin, violin, cello, accordion, banjo, harmonica, and other instruments seamlessly.
