Friday was hot. And so was the band. As the Ward Oates Amphitheater welcomed the Jeff Barnes Band and Star 103.7 hosted an ice cream social with free cold treats to the first 200 people there. Although they did not give out all of their ice cream, the lunchtime concert drew about 130 people or so. The popular concert series is a great place to bring your lunch from many of the downtown restaurants, a picnic or sacked lunch from home, or just meet some friends for an hour of great entertainment. Each concert features a different genre of music. So surely there is a concert that suits your taste in music.
Come on out to the next Ward Oates Amphitheater Lunchtime Concert this Friday, August 1st, where the Ray Byrd Trio will entertain us with some smooth jazz tunes.
