With a few gaps to fill, the Sheriff’s Support Group of Altadena (SSGA) has announced the dates and attractions for the 2009 Concert Series at Farnsworth Park amphitheater. This 13th annual series, held on Saturdays through the summer, is still looking for sponsors for this key Altadena event.
This year's schedule includes:
June 20: Susie Hansen (Latin dance band)
June 27: Downbeat Express (Altadena's big band)
July 4: Patriotic concert, artist TBA
July 18: Surfin' Safaris (Beach party in Altadena!)
July 25: Artist TBA
Aug. 8: Those Manning Boys (Irish music and dance)
Aug. 15: Artist TBA
Aug. 29: The Groove (classic rock from 50's-80's)
Sept. 12: Hot August Nights, a tribute
to Neil Diamond starring Dean Colley. One word of caution, arrive early
for this concert as Dean has a huge following and the amphitheater will
be packed very early.
The Rotary Club of Altadena has partnered with us again this year providing logistical and financial assistance. Returning sponsors include Georgia Rutherford (in memory of Don Rutherford), M & M Printing, Toyota of Pasadena, Dickson Podley Realtors (Michael Baietti & Linda Seyfert) Myirishpride.com and Trinity Threadworks as well as Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
Over the past 12 years, the Summer Concerts have evolved to be a real community event. Additional sponsors are still needed, contact the hosts of the Summer Concerts, the Altadena Sheriff’s Station, Deputy Sam Estrada, 626-296-2105.
