That mosh-pit polka bunch, Brave Combo, opens Levitt series,
Pentatonix on Sunday
Count it down starting Thursday night, Aug. 30:
Its five more weeks of free music concerts at the Levitt Pavilion.
It's the hokey-pokey, the chicken dance and
conga lines for opening night of the Texas Power 2012 Fall Concert Series on
Aug. 30, when Brave Combo (left) continues the
tradition of opening the fall concerts with their particular brand of
mosh-pit polka. Lone Star Comics returns as the opening night concert sponsor,
so you can bet there will be super
heroes and free comic books on hand as well.
Opening weekend continues with fiddle prodigy
17-year-old Ruby Jane, who brings her
mind-blowing fiddle playing to the Levitt on Aug. 31 thanks to a grant
from the Arlington Cultural Tourism
Council.
She is followed on Saturday, Sept. 1, by Bruce
Robison and Kelly Willis, real-life married couple and one of alternative
country's most talented singer/songwriter duos. Their concert is sponsored by
Worthington National Bank.
The biggest news for opening weekend is
Pentatonix on Sunday, Sept. 2. These five
a cappella sensations walked away with first
prize and a Sony recording contract
from
NBC's The Sing-Off last fall. Three of the five are Martin High School
graduates.
Their debut recording is out, and they're coming
to the Levitt for a hometown concert
sponsored by Edward Jones.
The fall concert series runs Aug. 30 through
Sept. 29 with shows at 7:30 p.m. Thursday
through Sunday. A complete fall concert calendar
is available on the Levitt's website,
www.levittpavilionarlington.org
All of the Levitt's concerts are free and family
friendly. J. Gilligan's returns
Irish nachos to purchase. Mountaintop Snow will
have their to-die-for snow cones
as well
as kettle corn, homemade lemonade, ice cream, nachos and soft drinks.
Levitt audiences are seated on open lawn seating
on blankets and chairs. They are
welcome to bring picnics, snacks and coolers
with beverages, just no glass containers.
