The popular free summer concerts in the park continue into the third week with three exciting performances.

On Sunday, August 11, the Highlife Band takes the stage at City Park at 3 p.m. Over the past 14 years, the Highlife Band has developed original reggae and world music that integrates the music of Jamaica, West Africa, the Caribbean, Brazil and other influences. Seattle-based French-American lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Daniel Miller weaves the sounds of the African diaspora into new songs with clean vocals, horn arrangements and an energetic rhythm section.

Then on Tuesday, August 13, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at Hazel Miller Plaza, enjoy jazz-folk singer Jean Lenke, who combines the joy of her parents’ ’40s music with the spirit of the folk-rock and jazz-rock fusion soundtrack of her own youth in an eclectic mix.

Reid Jamieson & CVM will perform at Hazel Miller Plaza on Thursday, August 15th from 4:30pm-6pm. Jamieson and his wife and creative partner Carolyn Victoria Mill are a singer-songwriter duo from Vancouver, BC. The duo’s unique harmonies and switching of lead vocals make for an eclectic, fun and varied show. Check out their website for a listen.

Summer Concerts in the Park is a program of the Edmonds Arts Commission. The full concert schedule can be found here. All programs are subject to change.
