2025 Summer Concert Series
When it comes to entertainment, summer and live outdoor music go hand in hand.
Columbia’s Summer Concert Series is back by popular demand and promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Thank you to our Platinum Sponsors: Olivia Evans REALTOR/Broker, Discovery Learning Center, Columbia CrossFit, Titan Energy, and the Ramm Family for helping make the Summer Concert Series possible.
On June 18th we open the concert series at the Town Green with a true favorite, Bruce John, at 6:00pm. Pizza and beverages will be provided.
On July 9th, beginning at 6:30pm, the concert series heads to Rec Park where Nightshift will take ‘center stage’. Nightshift is a five-piece cover band that covers well-known songs from the 60s, 70s and 80s. The band is confident that you will enjoy every song they play, and all will want to dance from kids to grandparents!
At 6 pm on July 18th, beach goers at Columbia Lake are in for a treat as Jim Blair performs for those who want a relaxing way to end their week!
The Town Green will play host to a talented music group, the Kinship Trio at 6pm on July 23rd. Their original songs, interspersed with an eclectic mix of familiar folk and folk-rock tunes, makes their sound distinctive and inviting. Tight arrangements and versatile instrumental breaks enhance a repertoire of songs ranging from toe-tappers to heartfelt stories – and even a few for the little ones in the audience.
Concert goers will not want to miss The Kenn Morr Band, when they play at Rec Park at 6:30pm on July 30th. Known for its three-part vocal harmonies and fiery instrumental interplay, the group has been together for many years, recording several albums, and becoming fast favorites on the outdoor festival scene.
A fun new edition to the Summer Concert Series will be a new band, Feedback. Concert goers can jam along at Rec Park at 6pm on August 13th , to a classic rock inspired band from Connecticut. Feedback brings crowd favorites to new life, along with playing their own originals. Since performing at their first gig in January of 2023, they have impressed audiences around Connecticut at a variety of venues.
To close out the Summer Concert Series, Trumbull Highway featuring special guest Ryan Crosby will perform on August 20th. Trumbull Highway’s sound is based in American roots music that features covers from independent artists (The Brother’s Comatose, Old Crow Medicine Show, John Craigie), and major recording artists (Tom Petty, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Jimmy Buffett) as well as the start of the band’s own originals. Trumbull Highway is comprised of Chris Ramm (guitar, vocals), Mike Hamilton (guitar, harmonica, vocals), Chris Clark (bass guitar), Chris Walsh-Braheny (fiddle), Ian LaVoie (banjo, vocals), Brent LaVoie (mandolin), and Jennifer LaVoie (ukulele, vocals). This is the last hoorah as we say goodbye to summer, so do not miss what will be a wonderful time!
For all three of our Nightshift, The Kenn Morr Band, and Feedback concerts, there will be a food truck and the return of Columbia Package store beverages for anyone who wants to buy a snack or a drink! The snack shack will also be open for other yummy treats as well!
We look forward to another great summer and we will see you soon!
