Jackson College Summer Concert Series Returns

(May 31, 2022 10:55 AM) Jackson College has announced the return of the Summer Concert Series on the Potter Center’s “back patio” this summer.  

For years, the College presented the Front Porch Concert Series. Now, with renovations and improvements to the Potter Center, the series continues on the back patio.  All concerts are free and open to the community.

 Performances scheduled:  

June 8, Phil Bickel’s Jackson French Quarter Dixieland Band — presenting favorites such as “When the Saints Go Marching In,” “Bill Bailey,” and “Closer Walk.”  

June 16, The Capital City Brass Band — featuring professional musicians from Jackson, Lansing, and all areas in-between, the award-winning Capital City Brass Band has been exciting audiences since 2001! This group includes several local musicians who have been part of the Jackson Community Concert Band, played in Trombonefest and/or the Jackson Symphony Orchestra over the years.  

June 19, Trombonefest — “Baroque to Beatles, Queen and Blue Suede,” all with 30-plus trombones and a rockin’ rhythm section!      

June 21, Jackson Community Concert Band Summer Concert — with exciting, light-hearted literature with some classics for spice.  

These free concerts will begin at 7 p.m. Some seating is available but bringing a lawn chair or blanket is encouraged. Concerts will move indoors in case of rain.
