You know them for their big name national music acts, such as the upcoming Neko Case concert, or August's Kenny Rogers extravaganza.But the Frederik Meijer Gardens' Amphitheater is keeping it nice and local every Tuesday in August with their Tuesday Evening Music Club.
In its seventh year running, this event, formally known as the Keller Music Series, kicks off with a new local pop/rock band every Tuesday at 7 p.m.
The concert series is free for members, and included in the general admission ticket to the gardens for non-members; meaning you can spend your day exploring the gardens and exhibits and your night rocking out to fresh Grand Rapids musical talent.
Meijer Gardens staff spend the year checking out the local music scene to get a feel for the best acts to bring in for this month long concert series. The lineup ranges from the melodic rock sounds of Papa Vegas (pictured above) to the experimental garage band blues of grrRoPolis.
Each evening is hosted by well-known local music extraordinaire Ralston Bowles, of the band Ralston & Friends.
First up on August 4th is a trio of sounds that includes: Karisa Wilson, The Lollipops, and The Icicles, an indie-rock band who's 2005 hit "Sugar Sweet" was featured in an ad campaign for Motorola.
