Summertime Tunes

Spring/Summer 2005

There is no time like summertime for picnics and friends and, in July, music on Cal State San Bernardino’s Lower Commons Plaza.

The annual Summer Wednesdays series opens July 6 with a group that has become a tradition this time of year, The Latin Society, and brings back a group from a couple of years ago, Gregg Young and the Second Street Band on July 13. While Latin Society laces its tunes with a Latin beat, Young and his group perform jazz, rhythm-and-blues and reggae, among other styles.

On July 20 The Basix take the stage, performing songs made famous by Aretha Franklin and James Brown. The Bootie Shakers close the four-week-long series on July 27 with 1970s tribute songs.

The Summer Wednesdays series is a family and friends affair held outdoors on the Lower Commons Plaza. Bring picnic baskets, blankets and lawn chairs. Concession items also will be sold during the shows, which are free and begin at 7 p.m. Parking is $3.
