With an eye towards introducing people to its more than 180 businesses, the East Dearborn Downtown Development Authority (EDDDA) and Smooth Jazz V 98.7 FM are teaming up to launch their own series of Wednesday concerts at City Hall Park beginning July 22.

In all, there will be five free concerts in July and August.  The concerts will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday evenings, July 22, 29 and August 12, 19 and 26.  The July 22 concert will feature Detroit jazz artist, Alexander Zonjic & Friends.

Performances by other well known Detroit area jazz artists include David Myles & the Mylestones, Jessie Coleman, Penny Wells and The Brothers Groove.

The five concerts will be in addition to the Dearborn Recreation Department’s “Music Under the Stars” concert that will be held at 7:30 p.m. July 30, also at City Hall Park.  The city’s Music Under the Stars series of concerts takes place at various locations throughout Dearborn during the summer and have been well received by residents.

EDDDA Director Michael Boettcher says area businesses have been looking for a reasons to stay open later and the free outdoor summer concerts provide an opportunity to possibly attract new customers.
