For those seeking a break from the business of a new year, Longboat Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kim Verreault has just the ticket.

The three-part concert series begins March 1 with a performance by Big Z Band. The Dr. Dave Band then plays on March 15, and Easy Street Band is slated to take the stage on April 19.

Big Z Band bills itself as able to tackle nearly every genre of music, from country to jazz to reggae to classic rock and beyond. The Dr. Dave Band says it specializes in “kick-grass country rock.”

“All of this music is good dance music,” Verreault said.

She said the chamber wanted to work with presenting sponsor Bank of America to bring community members several evenings of relaxation and fun.

Individual general admission tickets are $25, or up to eight guests can enjoy a sophisticated VIP table together for $250. Those wanting a table must register in advance and should note that a limited number of VIP spots are available.

Attendees are welcome to bring their own blankets, lawn chairs, snacks, picnic baskets and beverages, though food trucks will be selling food nearby.

Verreault said she hopes concert-goers enjoy “the opportunity to get together in a casual, fun setting, where people have the opportunity to be with one another in a joyous social setting.”

Gates open at 4:30 p.m. at the Karon Family Pavilion at Town Center Green, and the performances run from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. each night. Verreault encourages attendees to get there early to enjoy surprise opening performances by artists yet to be announced.

She noted that refunds will not be available if there is poor weather.

Contact the chamber online, at 383-2466 or in person at the office to register or ask questions.
