Our Events in the Plaza outdoor concerts will be held Tuesdays, 7:30 pm, June 14 through August 9 (no concert on July 5) at Independence Grove Forest Preserve. There are no rain dates.

Mr. Myers

Kick off your sandals and groove to an original music sound influenced by calypso, ska, reggae, and rock and roll. The band’s upbeat tone creates a carefree mood reminiscent of a beach getaway. Cleverly arranged cover tunes of artists such as Bob Marley, Jimmy Buffett and Harry Belafonte will get you on your (bare) feet in no time.
