Summertime Live - The Accidentals @ Concerts in the Park

Presented by Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo and Concerts in the Park at Bronson Park

Concerts in the Park is part of Summertime Live!

 

Yahoo Music’s “Top 10 Bands to Watch in 2017”

With ODYSSEY, their extraordinary Sony Masterworks debut album, The Accidentals affirm their place among contemporary music’s most original and adventurous new bands. Multi-instrumentalists Sav Buist and Katie Larson – joined on stage and in the studio by drummer Michael Dause – have crafted a genre all their own, fueled by their uniquely limitless approach to musicality and songcraft. As its title suggests, ODYSSEY is built upon the foundation of real life experience through adversity and finding strength in vulnerability, their five-year journey having brought them to this cusp moment. Lyrically powerful songs like “Earthbound” and the potent title track see the band embracing their choice to lead an unconventional life with all its many surprising twists and turns.

Concerts in the Park one of Kalamazoo’s long-standing traditions offered Sunday’s in June, July and August in Bronson Park deliver a unique offering unlike other concert series in Kalamazoo.  Each concert is free and is friendly for the entire family.  Picnic meals (no grilling allowed), blankets or lawn chairs are encouraged.
