6/9/17 JUMPIN' JUPITER
One of Virginia's premiere rockin' and rollin' rockabilly outfits, Jumpin’ Jupiter landed in the Falls Church area sometime in the summer of ’92. A ho

me in the hearts of all of those folks out there who haven't forgotten how much fun good ol' American music is!

6/23/17 ZUZU'S HOT 5
Part Louis Armstrong, part Fats Waller, and part Flapper! Thumpin’ strings send your body into an unstopp-able rhythm. The Hot 5 provides stomps, rambles, lowdown blues, rollicking Dixieland and pop ballads from the most tumultuous and creative era of American music: 1910-1931. Prohibition-Era Jazzatitsbest! www.zuzushotfive.com

7/7/17 HACKENSAW BOYS
With feet firmly planted in the old-time song tradition, hands soiled by the dirt of rock n’ roll and eyes fixed steadily on the future of real country music, the Hackensaw Boys are among the most exciting groups charting new territory in today’s diverse Americana music scene. www.hackensawboys.com

7/21/17 -MIDNIGHT SPAGHETTI
Keeping the old school party vibe of Digital Underground and Trouble Funk alive, Midnight Spaghetti takes the beat and runs with it in progressive directions. Their blend of classic funk, conscious frenetic rap, a killer horn section, and a contagious enthusiasm for life leaves people wondering what planet they came from, but more importantly, how they can get on that mothership. www.midnightspaghetti.com

8/4/17 - BRYAN ELIJAH SMITH & THE WILD HEARTS
Bryan Elijah Smith & The Wild Hearts are an ‘Alternative-Americana’ band based out of the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. The music cradles all things ‘Americana’ at heart & at hand without shying away from a truly uninhibited pop sensibility. Crossing a wide array of genres, what gets produced has been compared to the likes of everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Kings of Leon. www.bryanelijahsmith.com

8/18/17 - THE WALKING ROOTS BAND
Mixing a variety of musical tastes and influences, The Walking Roots Band settled into a roots-music sound, with instrumentation including different combinations of guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, violin, acoustic bass, and accordion. A love of rhymes, lyrics, and wordplay manifest themselves in some clever, lyrically-driven folk songs, as well as the pioneering of the up-and-coming genre "folk-rap.” www.thewalkingrootsband.com

Finale Concert of the Fridays on the Square Summer Music Series

Hello Dear Friends of Fridays on the Square!

We want to let you know that after 28 years of promoting Downtown Harrisonburg's revitalization, our grass roots, all volunteer, non-profit organization "Citizens For Downtown" has determined it is time to disband.

So it is with some sadness but much pride that "Citizens For Downtown", the host organization of Fridays On the Square Summer Concert Series, will be presenting our FINALE CELEBRATORY CONCERT this summer on FRIDAY JUNE 22, 2018. We're excited to wrap up 28 years of family friendly free concerts with a finale show featuring 2 of our long-time audience favorites~ “Bryan Elijah Smith & The WildHearts” and “The Nighthawks”. Music starts promptly at 6:30pm.

Please read our letter below for more of our story...and we hope to see you "On the Square" with us one more time! LOVE & THANKS!
