Summer Concert Series
June 13 (12-1): Centerfold

Centerfold commands attention as a powerhouse tribute band covering the female legends of the Rock and Roll glory days. They feature one of Chicagoland’s most gifted female vocalists at center stage belting out the classics of the 70s and 80s, or hits of more recent years, such as those by Pink, Carrie Underwood, and Lady Gaga. Come out and enjoy this great show without pre-recorded tracks or theatrics, the way live music entertained us when Rock and Roll wasn’t just music, it was the soundtrack of our lives!

Summer Concerts are held in front of the library in the Dominic Froio Memorial Garden (with limited shade). Folding chairs will be provided, but for maximum comfort you are welcome to bring your own chair and/or hand-held shade umbrella.
